Many-body physics aims to understand emergent properties of systems made of many
interacting objects. This review examines recent progress on the topic of radiative heat …

As the size of materials, particles, and devices shrinks to nanometer, atomic, or even
quantum scale, it is more challenging to characterize their thermal properties reliably …

Thermal radiation is one of the most universal physical phenomena, and its study has
played a key role in the history of modern physics. Our understanding of this subject has …

Combining noble metals with nonnoble metals is an attractive strategy to balance the activity
and cost of electrocatalysts. However, a guiding principle for selecting suitable nonnoble …

Single-molecule junctions have been extensively used to probe properties as diverse as
electrical conduction,–, light emission, thermoelectric energy conversion,, quantum …

Right after the first edition was published in 2007, I was invited to give seminars at a number
of universities in several countries. At that time, many people considered nanotechnology …

We computationally designed an ultranarrow-band wavelength-selective thermal radiator
via a materials informatics method alternating between Bayesian optimization and thermal …

Thermal transport in individual atomic junctions and chains is of great fundamental interest
because of the distinctive quantum effects expected to arise in them. By using novel, custom …

Photonic cooling of matter has enabled both access to unexplored states of matter, such as
Bose–Einstein condensates, and novel approaches to solid-state refrigeration,–. Critical to …

Despite its strong potentials in emerging energy applications, near-field thermal radiation
between large planar structures has not been fully explored in experiments. Particularly, it is …
