Diffusion and wave propagation are both fundamental transport mechanisms, but they have
intrinsically different dynamics, governing equations, and applications. Over the past …

Diffusion driven by temperature or concentration gradients is a fundamental mechanism of
energy and mass transport that inherently differs from wave propagation in both physical …

The demand for sophisticated tools and approaches in heat management and control has
triggered the fast development of fields that include conductive thermal metamaterials …

The transportation of essential items, such as food and vaccines, often requires adaptive
multi-temperature control to maintain high safety and efficiency. While existing methods …

Classical thermodynamics often helps to passively describe macroscopic heat phenomena
of natural systems, which means people almost cannot change the heat phenomena, but …

Perpetual advancements in modern detection technologies have augmented the need of
multi-band (such as laser radar, visual) middle-infrared (MIR) compatible camouflage; …

Geometric phase is a fundamental concept which emerges in various systems, regardless of
quantum or classical description. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that the geometric …

Temperature measurement is particularly significant for various fields such as industrial
production and daily life, so high-performance thermal sensors become indispensable …

Any object with nonzero temperature emits thermal radiation described by the Stefan-
Boltzmann law, and hence, thermal conduction is always accompanied by thermal radiation …

Conduction and convection are two fundamental methods of heat transfer, which are
generally considered independent. We manage to unify them by coining a complex thermal …
