Thermal superscatterer: amplification of thermal scattering signatures for arbitrarily shaped thermal materials [PDF]
The concept of superscattering is extended to the thermal field through the design of a thermal superscatterer based on transformation thermodynamics. A small thermal scatterer of arbitrary shape and conductivity is encapsulated with an engineered negative-conductivity shell, creating a composite that mimics the scattering signature of a significantly ...

Manipulating Steady Heat Conduction by Sensu-shaped Thermal Metamaterials [PDF]
The ability to design the control of heat flow has innumerable benefits in the design of electronic systems such as thermoelectric energy harvesters, solid-state lighting, and thermal imagers, where the thermal design plays a key role in performance and device reliability.

Incorporating nanosized silver into titanium for antimicrobial materials exploits the metastable miscibility gap between silver and titanium. Silver nanoparticles are synthesized via pulsed laser ablation in liquid. Silver addition refines the microstructure, increases hardness by 30%, and reduces Staphylococcus capitis microbial adhesion by 70%, with ...

Thermal and non-thermal energies in solar flares [PDF]
The energy of the thermal flare plasma and the kinetic energy of the non-thermal electrons in 14 hard X-ray peaks from 9 medium-sized solar flares have been determined from RHESSI observations. The emissions have been carefully separated in the spectrum.

Maillard Type Reaction for Electroless Copper Plating onto Ceramic Nanoparticles
This work presents the manufacturing of copper‐plated ceramic nanoparticles in an environmentally friendly way. Supported by organic functionalizations with pectin an electroless plating step can be performed. Sustainable reagents like xylose, and several amino acids are used for the reduction process.

Reducing the Possibility of Subjective Error in the Determination of the Structure-Function-Based Effective Thermal Conductivity of Boards [PDF]
The thermal response function given to a unit-step dissipation accurately characterizes the thermal system. Instead of the thermal response function the so-called structure function describing three-dimensional as the equivalent model of one-dimensional heat-spreading, created from the thermal response function with the help of complex mathematical ...

A hybrid system for de‐icing made of gradient polymer coatings, deposited on aluminum coupled with an electromechanical system, is demonstrated as an effective and durable strategy for reducing drastically ice adhesion. The system is capable of detaching ice blocks over the coating in less than 1 s, regardless of the ice type and covered area ...
