Employing non-equilibrium quantum transport models, we investigate the details and operating conditions of nano-structured Peltier coolers embedded with an energy filtering barrier. Our investigations point out non-trivial aspects of…
Capacitive technology allows building sensors that are small, compact and have high sensitivity. For this reason it has been widely adopted in robotics. In a previous work we presented a compliant skin system based on capacitive technology…
Accurately capturing and simulating multiscale systems is a formidable challenge, as both spatial and temporal scales can span many orders of magnitude. Rigorous upscaling methods not only ensure efficient computation, but also maintains…
We propose a configuration of a single three-level quantum emitter embedded in a non-equilibrium steady electromagnetic environment, able to stabilize and control the local temperatures of a target system it interacts with, consisting of a…
Thermal transistor is an efficient heat control device which can act as a heat switch as well as a heat modulator. In this paper, we study systematically one-dimensional and two-dimensional thermal transistors. In particular, we show how to…
We demonstrate the elements of a coupled-resonator optical waveguide in a side-coupled Fabry-P\'erot configuration, and show that the coupling rate between adjacent waveguides can be widely tuned through the thermo-optic effect. The device…
Scalable, coherent many-body systems can enable the realization of previously unexplored quantum phases and have the potential to exponentially speed up information processing. Thermal fluctuations are negligible and quantum effects govern…
Low-temperature refrigeration technology constitutes a crucial component in space exploration. The small-scale, low-vibration Stirling-type pulse tube refrigerators hold significant application potential for space cooling. However, the…
The exotic properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials and 2D heterostructures, built by forming heterogeneous multi-layered stacks, have been widely explored across a number of subject matters following the goal to invent, design, and…
Understanding the nature of glass transition, as well as precise estimation of the glass transition temperature for polymeric materials, remain open questions in both experimental and theoretical polymer sciences. We propose a data-driven…
Two mathematical models are derived to describe the thermal dynamics of a plastics production machine. The Smart Sensor design is based on the finite volume model. The accuracy of the derived finite volume model is validated by a finite…
Polymer nanofibers with high thermal conductivities and outstanding thermal stabilities are highly desirable in heat transfer-critical applications such as thermal management, heat exchangers and energy storage. In this work, we unlock the…
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are particularly attractive to build the channel of next-generation field-effect transistors (FETs) with gate lengths below 10-15 nm. Because the 2D technology has not yet reached the same level of maturity as…
A tunable and balanced heat interferometer is proposed and analyzed. The device consists of two superconductors linked together to form a double-loop interrupted by three Josephson junctions coupled in parallel. Both superconductors are…
Wearable technology has significantly improved the quality of life for older adults, and the emergence of on-body, movable robots presents new opportunities to further enhance well-being. Yet, the interaction design for these robots remains…

We introduce an algorithm to systematically improve the efficiency of parallel tempering Monte Carlo simulations by optimizing the simulated temperature set. Our approach is closely related to a recently introduced adaptive algorithm that…
We present an experimental unit that realizes the ``multi-input, multi-output manifold'' thermal management technology proposed by Lamarre & Raymond (2023). The proposed setup can be used for experiments aimed at controlling spatiotemporal…
We study a microscopic model of a thermocouple device with two connected correlated quantum wires driven by a constant electric field. In such isolated system we follow the time-- and position--dependence of the entropy density using the…
