Article Abstract
Thermal signatures carry unique infrared appearances and spectral fingerprints of objects, but controlling them across spatial, temporal, and spectral domains remains challenging due to thermal emission's slow, diffuse, and broadband emitting nature. We demonstrate a reconfigurable ultrafast thermal metamaterial pixel array integrating active metasurfaces with dual-gate graphene transistors (Gr-FETs). Each pixel's Gr-FETs provide heater-switch dual functionalities: one as a broadband transparent microheater supporting arbitrary metasurface designs for multicolor, narrowband infrared emission with ultrafast modulation speed of minimum 187 kHz, and the other as an electrical switch enabling unified array control without compromising emission intensity. Decoupling thermal generation and emission design processes, our approach provides unprecedented programming flexibility across space, time, and wavelength. Our fabricated array experimentally demonstrated 26 alphabetical letters through progressive scanning, paving the way for universal thermal signature control in advanced thermal-infrared applications.

In this paper, we design and study a temperature-controlled switchable terahertz perfect absorber based on vanadium dioxide (VO), which shows excellent multi-band performance, high sensitivity and intelligent thermal management. The device consists of four layers in a metal-dielectric composite structure, which are a metal reflection layer, silicon dielectric layer, VO phase change layer and top metal pattern layer from bottom to top. The simulation results show that when VO is in the low-temperature insulation state, the absorption rate of the device is as high as 99.

Thermal camouflage technologies manipulate heat fluxes to conceal objects from thermographic detection, offering potential solutions for thermal management in high-power-density electronics. Most reported approaches are aimed at scenarios where the target is not a heat source; however, any target with a non-zero temperature emits thermal radiation described by the Stefan-Boltzmann law since the thermal radiation of an object is proportional to the fourth power of its temperature (T). To address this issue, this study proposes a thermal camouflage device that considers the influence of radiative thermal transfer from the target.

In the field of intelligent manufacturing, image anomaly detection plays a pivotal role in automated product quality inspection. Most existing anomaly detection methods are adept at capturing local features of images, achieving high detection accuracy for structural anomalies such as cracks and scratches. However, logical anomalies typically appear normal within local regions of an image and are difficult to represent well by the anomaly score map, requiring the model to possess the capability to extract global context features.
