It is possible to make a material emit more radiation than it absorbs, violating the laws of physics in a way that could make energy-harvesting devices more efficient ...

The clingy planet orbits so close to its star, it triggers powerful explosions of radiation that eat away at its atmosphere.

Stars often whip their planets with solar winds and radiation, pull them ever closer with gravity and sear them with heat.
