Because thermal conduction satisfies diffusion equations as well as wave equations, and the former have different physical mechanisms, the extension from optical cloaking to thermal cloak- ing is a greater challenge. Thus, research on thermal metamaterials has been very slow. As early as in 2008, various counter-intuitive functions and properties like thermal cloaks and thermal inverters were proposed on the basis of finite element simulations, and the concept of thermal metamaterials was introduced. However, this concept was only demonstrated experimentally in 2012. On account of their potential appli
