Role of dissipation dilution in achieving high mechanical quality factors in van der Waals resonators

This paper demonstrates that dissipation dilution enables monolayer MoS $_2$ resonators to achieve record-breaking quality factors of up to 372,000 at 4 K, revealing that while atomic thickness limits intrinsic performance through surface losses, multilayer structures can combine high dilution with bulk-like quality factors to establish van der Waals materials as a premier platform for ultrahigh- $Q$ quantum applications.

Emergence of Nonlocal Hydrodynamics in Many-Body Radiative Heat Transport

This paper develops a nonlocal hydrodynamic theory for many-body radiative heat transport by coarse-graining microscopic electrodynamic interactions, revealing that long-range exchanges can sustain non-Fourier transport when the interaction kernel's second spatial moment diverges, thereby bridging discrete fluctuational electrodynamics with continuous macroscopic descriptions.
