1. A device for protecting a body from damage, the device comprising:
an outer protective cover, the outer protective cover comprising a thermal energy conduction element for transferring thermal energy through at least part of the outer protective cover; and
an inner assembly adjacent to the outer protective cover, the inner assembly comprising a thermal energy transfer device adapted to transfer thermal energy to and/or from the thermal energy conduction element,
wherein the thermal conduction element comprises a graphite-like or pyrolytic graphite-like material;
wherein the thermal energy transfer device comprises a thermal energy transfer fluid; and
wherein the thermal energy transfer fluid comprises a nanofluid, the nanofluid comprising hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles and/or graphene nanoparticles.
