Sub‐Unit‐Cell Logic Governs Transport in TPMS Architectures (Adv. Sci. 29/2026)

Heat Transport in Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Metamaterials In their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/advs.202523188), Binbin Yu, Jian Lu Jianfeng Gu, Ma Qian, and co-workers decode heat transport in triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) metamaterials by identifying sub-unit-cell building blocks-analogous, in a sense, to “thermal genes”-moving beyond conventional unit-cell averaging. Based on these units, a predictive framework is established to evaluate thermal performance, enabling geometry-driven design of materials with programmable transport properties.
