Description
Controlling thermal waves is crucial for dynamic thermal management, yet inherently challenging due to their rapid attenuation and complex convection-diffusion coupling. Conventional transformation theories either struggle with these transient waves or require unachievable anisotropic materials. Here, we propose a diffusive pseudoconformal mapping theory to manipulate thermal waves using purely isotropic materials. Within this unified framework, we simultaneously realize insulating and zero-index carpet cloaks, revealing a fundamental geometric duality between invisibility and environmental sensing.
