Abstract

A clever experiment that makes use of two metallic islands connected by superconducting leads now confirms that thermal conduction by photons is limited by the same quantum value. Although the result is mainly of fundamental importance, there are implications for the design of bolometers, detectors of far-infrared light that are used in astrophysical studies, and electronic micro-refrigerators.
