Two-dimensional (2D) materials have undergone a rapid development toward real applications since the discovery of graphene. At first, graphene is a star material because of the ultrahigh mobility and novel physics, but i...

Radiative sky cooling reduces the temperature of a system by promoting heat exchange with the sky; its key advantage is that no input energy is required. We will review the origins of radiative sky cooling from ancient t...

Abstract As a large-scale mining excavator, the electric shovel (ES) has been extensively employed in open-pit mines for overburden removal and mineral loading. In the development of unmanned operations for ES, dynamic e...

From theoretical model to experimental realization, the bound state in the continuum (BIC) is an emerging area of research interest in the last decade. In the initial years, well-established theoretical frameworks explai...

Broadband dispersion free, large and ultrafast nonlinear material platforms comprise the essential foundation for the study of nonlinear optics, integrated optics, intense field optical physics, and quantum optics. Despi...

Discovery of low-dimensional materials has been of great interest in physics and material science. Optical permittivity is an optical fingerprint of material electronic structures, and thus it is an important parameter i...

Following the discovery of X-rays, scintillators are commonly used as high-energy radiation sensors in diagnostic medical imaging, high-energy physics, astrophysics, environmental radiation monitoring, and security inspe...

A pressing issue in materials science is the controlled application of ceramic composite materials at high temperatures in modern technologies, particularly in nuclear physics, atomic energy, aerospace, and rocket engine...

Layered materials, such as graphene, transition metal dichacogenides and black phosphorus have attracted lots of attention recently. They are emerging novel materials in electronics and photonics, with tremendo...

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors enable atomically thin channels and attractive electrostatics, but practical scaling increasingly hinges on gate-dielectric integration rather than channel performance. A key ...

A multiphysic model that simultaneously describe different transport phenomena in porous media is presented. The porous matrix is regarded as a bundle of periodically constricted tubes, whose pore radius distribution is ...

Terahertz (THz) waves have exhibited promising prospects in 6G/7G communications, sensing, nondestructive detection, material modulation, and biomedical applications. With the development of high-power THz sources, more ...

Molding the wavefront of acoustic waves into the desired shape is of paramount significance in acoustics, which however are usually constrained by the acoustical response of naturally available materials. The emergence o...

Abstract Large language models are beginning to appear in civil engineering practice, yet their advice often reflects generalized narratives rather than local evidence. This perspective introduces a governance audit fram...

Topological photonics emerged as a novel route to engineer the flow of light. Topologically protected photonic edge modes, which are supported at the perimeters of topologically nontrivial insulating bulk structures, are...

We demonstrate coherent control in photoemission from a gold needle tip using an ω − 2ω field composed of strong few-cycle laser pulses with a nearfield intensity of ∼4 TW/cm2. We obtain the nearfield intensity fro...

Flat-band systems have attracted considerable interest in different branches of physics in the past decades, providing a flexible platform for studying fundamental phenomena associated with completely dispersionless band...

In this brief review, we summarize and elaborate on some of the nomenclature of polaritonic phenomena and systems as they appear in the literature on quantum materials and quantum optics. Our summary includes at least 70...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have shown great promise as hosts for high-purity deterministic single-photon sources. In the last few years, the underlying physics of single photon emission in 2D materials have been unco...

Monolayer group VI transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have recently emerged as promising candidates for photonic and opto-valleytronic applications. The optoelectronic properties of these atomically-thin semiconduct...
