1. A bi-functional thermal cooling system comprising:
a first body;
a second body having a first plurality of Weyl semimetal nanostructures, the second body spaced apart from the first body; and
a third body having a second plurality of Weyl semimetal nanostructures, the third body spaced apart from the second body,
wherein the second body and the third body are each configured to independently rotate with respect to the first body to change optical properties of the first plurality of Weyl semimetal nanostructures of the second body and optical properties of the second plurality of Weyl semimetal nanostructures of the third body.
