Scientists from SPbPU conducted an experiment at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences🤩 The unique capabilities of the Shanghai Center allowed SPbPU scientists to make significant progress in the implementation of research under the project «Blurring of structural switching and two-phase states in highly deformed epitaxial dielectric heterostructures» supported by the Russian National Foundation (project number 20-72-10126). It represents part of a larger joint initiative of the SPbPU team in partnership with colleagues from other universities, aimed at creating new thermal gateways from thin-film heterostructures. Thanks to the development, it is possible to regulate thermal conductivity without mechanically moving any parts. For example, if clothes could independently transform from summer to winter and back again. Such technologies are used in space to adjust cooling systems, and on the ground for new types of solid-state coolers in electronics.
