Imagine adjusting a knob to turn on a toaster — except the 'knob' is a quantum trick and the toaster is your entire office.
Scientists Find a Way Around a 160-Year-Old Law of Physics to Create Programmable Heat
Researchers have circumvented a 160-year-old law of physics, Fourier's law, to control heat flow in a programmable way. Using a thin film of a material that can switch between insulating and conducting states, they can direct heat on demand, much like an electrical circuit. This could revolutionize thermal management in electronics and energy systems.
