"Revolutionary Tungsten Photonic Crystal Could provide More Power
for Electronic Devices"

Looks like one can use photonic crystals to channel heat energy
into specific photon emission energies in such a way that one
gets heat-to-photon conversion efficiencies significantly better
than allowed by Planck's Law of Blackbody Cavity Radiation.
Interesting applications for various energy conversion
strategies are discussed.
