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 …

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 …

In material science, the development of metamaterials is crucial for advancing various
technological applications. However, most metamaterial designs are still case by case due …

Convection offers a dynamic and flexible approach to achieving a variety of alternative
physical phenomena beyond pure conduction. Here, we demonstrate that thermal …
