Near-field photonic cooling through control of the chemical potential of photons, Published online: 13 February 2019; doi:10.1038/s41586-019-0918-8

The ‘negative luminescence’ of a reverse-biased photodiode is harnessed to draw thermal energy from a nearby solid object, thereby realizing photonic cooling without the use of coherent laser radiation.
