In a classical thermodynamic system, the heat current flows from the hotter body to the colder one, or electricity from the higher voltage to the lower one. The same thing happens in quantum systems, ...

How a Virginia Tech research team constructed its novel thermal diode. Test results of the thermal diode. Electrical engineers are obviously very familiar and comfortable with the basic diode, a ...

Eddy-mean energy exchange plays an essential role in ocean circulation and climate variability. This study decomposed the eddy-mean kinetic energy exchange into three parts, and linked them with ...
