Scientific paper

We demonstrate that the broadband divergence of the photonic density of
states in hyperbolic metamaterials leads to giant increase in radiative heat
transfer, beyond the limit set by the Stefan-Boltzmann law. The resulting
radiative thermal "hyper-conductivity" may approach or even exceed heat
conductivity via electrons and phonons in regular solids.
