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 …

Thermal nonreciprocity typically stems from nonlinearity or spatiotemporal variation of
parameters. However, constrained by the inherent temperature‐dependent properties and …

Recent studies have identified plasma as a topological material. Yet, these researches often
depict plasma as a fluid governed by electromagnetic fields, ie, a classical wave system …

Static and dynamic metamaterials have been extensively studied for their ability to
manipulate different physical fields and directed to broad applications. Because the …

The paradigm shift of Hermitian systems into the non-Hermitian regime profoundly modifies
inherent property of the topological systems, leading to various unprecedented effects such …

Quantum phase transitions are a fascinating area of condensed matter physics. The
extension through complexification not only broadens the scope of this field but also offers a …

Compared with periodic systems, quasicrystals without translational invariance exhibit
unexpected localization properties. The extended-localized transition in quasicrystals has …

Diffusion metamaterials with artificial spatial structures have significant potential in
controlling energy and mass transfer. Those static structures may lead to functionality and …

Hybrid skin-topological effect (HSTE) in non-Hermitian systems exhibits both the skin effect
and topological protection, offering a novel mechanism for localization of topological edge …
