thermodynamics - Can kinetic energy in atoms result in emission of all types of EM radiation?


I already know the fact that when solid objects heat up, they emit thermal energy which is also known as infrared radiation. However, if the atoms in that solid were to begin gaining more or less kinetic energy, could the excited electrons then begin emitting radio wave or gamma wave radiation in the far regions of the electromagnetic spectrum?
