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 …

Photo-thermal catalysis has recently emerged as an alternative route to drive chemical
reactions using light as an energy source. Through the synergistic combination of photo-and …

Alternative water resources (seawater, brackish water, atmospheric water, sewage, etc.) can
be converted into clean freshwater via high-efficiency, energy-saving, and cost-effective …

Materials with ultrahigh or low thermal conductivity are desirable for many technological
applications, such as thermal management of electronic and photonic devices, heat …

Reduced graphene oxide has similar mechanical, optoelectronic or conductive properties to
pristine graphene because it possesses a heterogeneous structure comprised of a …

In this brief review, we summarize and elaborate on some of the nomenclature of polaritonic
phenomena and systems as they appear in the literature on quantum materials and …

The description of phonon heat conduction has typically been based on Fourier diffusion
theory. However, over the past three decades, a host of interesting phonon transport …

Thermally insulating materials based on renewable nanomaterials such as nanocellulose
could reduce the energy consumption and the environmental impact of the building sector …

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 …

Crystals and glasses exhibit fundamentally different heat conduction mechanisms: the
periodicity of crystals allows for the excitation of propagating vibrational waves that carry …
