Abstract
The control of electric currents in solids is at the origin of the modern electronics revolution which has driven our daily life since the second half of 20th century. Surprisingly, to date, there is no thermal analog for a control of heat flux. Here, we summarize the very last developments carried out in this direction to control heat exchanges by radiation both in near and far-field in complex architecture networks.
