Abstract Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has been predicted to exhibit an in-plane thermal conductivity as high ~ 550 W m −1 K at room temperature, making it a promising management material. However, current experimental results (220–420 ) have well below the prediction. Here, we report on modulation of h-BN by controlling B isotope concentration. For monoisotopic 10 h-BN, 585 is measured 80% higher than that with disordered concentration (52%:48% mixture and 11 B). The temperature-dependent...
Purifying C2H2 by removing trace CO2 is critically needed yet challenged their analogous physical properties. Herein, we report a commercial resin adsorbent HP20 (Diaion® HP-20 Resin) loaded with polyethyleneimine (PEI@HP20) which selectively captures and excludes C2H2. PEI@HP20 possesses high adsorption capacity (4.35 mmol/g) at 100 kPa 298 K record CO2/C2H2 uptake ratio compared all reported CO2-selective adsorbents. The ideal adsorbed solution theory selectivity reaches 1.33×107....

Imaging polariton dynamics Two-dimensional (2D) materials can confine light to volumes much shorter than the wavelength, and, together, long propagation lengths make them attractive for developing nanophotonic platforms. Characterizing spatiotemporal control of 2D wave packets has been hindered same reasons that their potential applications exciting: They have extremely small wavelengths and are strongly confined inside material. Kurman et al. developed a new pump-probe technique based on...

Thermal transport across solid–solid interfaces is vital for advanced electronic and photonic applications, yet conventional conduction pathways often restrict performance. In polar crystals, hybridized vibrational modes called phonon polaritons offer a promising avenue to overcome the limitations of intrinsic heat conduction. Here our work demonstrates that volume-confined hyperbolic polariton (HPhP) can transfer energy at rates far exceeding phonon–phonon Using pump–probe thermoreflectance...
