Mechanical metamaterials are a class of functional materials with designability and
extraordinary mechanical properties. Due to the manufacturing limitation of traditional …

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 …

Heat dissipation is necessary for the safer operation of high-power electronic devices and
high-capacity batteries. Thermal meta-materials can efficiently manipulate heat flow by …

Thermal metamaterials are mixture‐based materials that are engineered to manipulate,
control, and process the flow of heat, enabling numerous advanced thermal metadevices …

Abstract Mechanical Metamaterials (MMs) are artificially designed structures with
extraordinary properties that are dependent on micro architectures and spatial tessellations …

The fracture behaviour of artificial metamaterials often leads to catastrophic failures with
limited resistance to crack propagation. In contrast, natural materials such as bones and …

It is of significance, but still remains a key challenge, to attain excellent sound-absorbing and
mechanical properties in a material simultaneously. To overcome this challenge, herein …

Heat management is crucial for state‐of‐the‐art applications such as passive radiative
cooling, thermally adjustable wearables, and camouflage systems. Their adaptive versions …

It is widely adopted in thermal metamaterials that mixing different materials could
conveniently result in effective thermal conductivities (ETCs) beyond naturally-occurring …
