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 …

Diffusion and wave propagation are both fundamental transport mechanisms, but they have
intrinsically different dynamics, governing equations, and applications. Over the past …

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 …

The demand for sophisticated tools and approaches in heat management and control has
