Active thermal metasurfaces for remote heating/cooling by mimicking negative thermal conductivity [PDF]
Advanced Materials 2023, 2022 Remote temperature control can be obtained by a long-focus thermal lens that can focus heat fluxes into a spot far away from the back surface of the lens and create a virtual thermal source/sink in the background material, around which the temperature field distribution can be remotely controlled by changing the parameters of the thermal lens. However,

Thermal and non-thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect in the cavities of the galaxy cluster MS 0735.6+7421: the role of the thermal density in the cavity [PDF]
MNRAS, 503, 4183 (2021), 2021 The galaxy cluster MS 0735.6+7421 hosts two large X-ray cavities, filled with radio emission, where a decrease of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect has been detected, without establishing if its origin is thermal (from a gas with very high temperature) or non-thermal. In this paper we study how thermal and non-thermal contributions to the SZ effect in
