Physicists in Finland have shown that it is possible to conduct heat over macroscopic distances at close to the maximum efficiency permitted by quantum mechanics. By directing photons along a ...

Heat is an interesting form of energy. Not only does it sustain life, make us comfortable and help us prepare our food, but understanding its properties is key to many fields of scientific research.

The quantum of thermal conductance, G Q = πk B 2 T/6ℏ, provides the fundamental upper limit for heat conduction through a single channel 8,9. Here, T is the temperature, k B denotes the Boltzmann ...
