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 …

Convective thermal metamaterials are artificial structures where convection dominates in the
thermal process. Due to the field coupling between velocity and temperature, convection …

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 …

Thermal chirality, generically referring to the handedness of heat flux, provides a significant
possibility for modern heat control. It may be realized with the thermal Hall effect yet at the …

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

Advanced encoding technologies are crucial for information processing and storage, and
have been widely studied and implemented in various wave fields such as electromagnetics …

Transformation theory, active control and inverse design have been mainstream in creating
free-form metamaterials. However, existing frameworks cannot simultaneously satisfy the …

Simulated reality encompasses virtual, augmented, and mixed realities—each characterized
by different degrees of truthfulness in the visual perception:“all false,”“coexistence of true …

Hydrodynamic metamaterials, a nascent research field, possess immense potential for fluid
flow manipulation. With engineered structure design, they offer unparalleled control over …

Thermal transport is a fundamental mechanism of energy transfer process quite distinct from
wave propagation phenomena. It can be manipulated well beyond the possibilities offered …
