New PRE paper on heat transport

The collaboration between QTeQ and the Brazilian team at UFABC led by Prof. Fernando Semiao proves even more fruitful! A new research paper, co-authored by Alessandro and Mauro, has appeared in Phys. Rev. E addressing the heat transport across a non-equilibrium chain of harmonic oscillators and its links (or lack thereof!!) with Fourier law. The paper, which has benefited enormously of the expertise of Alberto Imparato (Aarhus Universtiaet), has been led by Fernando ‘Boiuna’ Nicacio and supported by TherMiQ and the CNPq funded ‘Science without Borders projects awarded to Fernando Semiao and Mauro.
