Curious how this graph will look like in 4 years www.nature.com/articles/d41...

@johncarlosbaez arguments are specially relevant this week. One cannot help but wonder if the whole US Tech and @bluesky will eventually share a scorched-earth mindset to progress. Any tips on how to use @Mastodon efficiently, starting with how to follow across servers?

Experimentally, we introduced similar (axial-coordination) chiral lattices on metal surfaces in 2020, with the aim to decouple substrate phonons from the molecular phonons at low temperatures. On-going experiments appears to confirm this. 5/n pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Our latest work strengthens the evidence that chiral lattices are platforms for the realisation of atomic-scale thermal diodes #thermodiode. It also argues that not all phonon modes express thermal nonreciprocity, hinting at the poss. of topological origins 4/n www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A thermal diode would let heat flow from A–>B but not B–>A. It'd allow reading thermal memories at specific temperatures. In 2019 we simulated the thermal excitation of a single molecule on a #chiral supramolecular lattice, evidencing transient thermal unidirectionality pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...

A specific device element is needed to leverage such thermal memory for thermodynamic circuitry–The thermal diode. The boundary states of topological vibrational phases of matter offer a strategy for the realisation of phonon diodes 2/n journals.aps.org/prb/abstract... pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Our latest www.nature.com/articles/s41... marks piece no. 8 since our first NC piece 9y ago www.nature.com/articles/nco... –Therein we proposed that a molecule trapped in a 2D MOF pore could function as a thermal memory at the atomic scale–the smallest container storing thermodynamic states 1/n
