Congratulations Amun Jarzembski for receiving the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship! The NSF GRF will support Amun’s Ph.D. work for three years. Amun’s research involves the exploration of near-field thermal radiation from a nanoscale heated tip to planar substrate for sub-10nm gaps. Since the discovery that near-field thermal radiation can exceed Planck’s blackbody limit by several […]
