As someone reminded on me on facebook all bodies radiate and the radiation spectrum depends on the temperature of body as per the blackbody model. However, I guess what I really had in mind was some sort of nanoengineered material ( "metamaterial") which would glow in the visible sprectrum at cooler temperatures instead of at 5000k. It would be similar to phosphorescence.
