Interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) is the main obstacle for heat flows from one material to
another. Understanding ITR becomes essential for the removal of redundant heat from fast …

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

Mechanical mechanisms have been used to process information for millennia, with famous
examples ranging from the Antikythera mechanism of the Ancient Greeks to the analytical …

A diverse spectrum of technology drivers such as improved thermal barriers, higher
efficiency thermoelectric energy conversion, phase-change memory, heat-assisted magnetic …

The study of phononic materials and structures is an emerging discipline that lies at the
crossroads of vibration and acoustics engineering and condensed matter physics. Broadly …

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 concept of metamaterials originates from the proposal of left-hand materials with
negative refractive index, followed by which, varieties of metamaterials with kinds of fantastic …

In recent years, the study of heat to work conversion has been re-invigorated by
nanotechnology. Steady-state devices do this conversion without any macroscopic moving …

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

Deep neural operators can learn operators map** between infinite-dimensional function
spaces via deep neural networks and have become an emerging paradigm of scientific …
