A non-Fourier thermal transport regime characterizes the heat conduction in solids with internal structure. Several thermodynamic theories attempt to explain the separation from the Fourier regime in such kind of systems. Here we develop a…
Thanks to modern manufacturing technologies, heterogeneous materials with complex inner structures (e.g., foams) can be easily produced. However, their utilization is not straightforward, as the classical constitutive laws are not…
Adsorption breakthrough modeling often requires complex software environments and scripting, limiting accessibility for many practitioners. We present AIM, a MATLAB-based graphical user interface (GUI) application that streamlines fixed-bed…
We outline the construction of a molecular system that could, in principle, implement a thermodynamically reversible Universal Turing Machine (UTM). By proposing a concrete-albeit idealised-design and operational protocol, we reveal…
We present two universal hinge patterns that enable a strip of material to fold into any connected surface made up of unit squares on the 3D cube grid--for example, the surface of any polycube. The folding is efficient: for target surfaces…
On the example of two-dimensional (2D) 3He we demonstrate that the main universal features of its experimental temperature T - density x phase diagram [see M. Neumann, J. Ny\'{e}ki, J. Saunders, Science 317, 1356 (2007)] look like those in…

Elementary thermal operations are thermal operations that act non-trivially on at most two energy levels of a system at the same time. They were recently introduced in order to bring thermal operations closer to experimental feasibility. A…

In this work, we study the thermo-mechanical behavior of metallic structures designed to significantly change shape in response to thermal stimuli. This behavior is achieved by arranging two metals with different coefficient of thermal…

Quantum superposition of energy eigenstates can appear autonomously in a single quantum two-level system coupled to a low-temperature thermal bath, if such coupling has a proper composite nature. We propose here a principally different and…

Topologically interlocked material systems are two-dimensional assemblies of unit elements from which no element can be removed from the assembly without disassembly of the entire system. Consequently, such tile assemblies are able to carry…
