Well, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. If it helps to slake your thirst for nano-insight on this subject, here is the same story from a different slant - the breakdown of Planck's "law" at the nanoscale: http://www.physorg.com/news168101848.html http://www.nanowerk.com/news/newsid=11917.php "For the first time, however, MIT researchers have achieved this feat, and determined that the heat transfer can be 1,000 times greater than [Planck's] law predicts." Note: no one suggests a violation of CoE, and therefore greater emission on the nano-structured surface (superradiance) will be compensated elsewhere. That can't be too difficult to grasp, once you get past the false belief that Planck's "law" is really a Law, instead of a general observation that proved correct within the limitations of its relevant time frame.
