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 …

Sensor technologies have improved the everyday life of human beings through their
applications in almost all fields. Sensors are devices that detect changes in the …

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

Thermal metamaterials provide rich control of heat transport which is becoming the
foundation of cutting-edge applications ranging from chip cooling to biomedical. However …

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

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

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

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

The cloaked sensor, which is capable of cloaking itself and still receiving an incoming signal
simultaneously, has attracted widespread concern. In the thermal diffusion community, the …
