- Graphene tested in microgravity for first time ( Science Daily ) - February 5, 2018
- "Such a difference makes silk particularly interesting for radiative heat transfer." Kim said. The silk has a high emissivity for infrared light, meaning it readily radiates heat, or infrared radiation, while at the same time being a good reflector of solar light. Because the strong reflectivity from Anderson ... More ...
