Taking heat positively as the information carrier,thermotronics can exempt the long-lasting thermal issue of electronics fundamentally,yet has been faced with the challenging multiplexing integration of diverse functionalities.Here,we demonstrate a spatiotemporal modulation platform to achieve multiplexing thermotronics functionalities based on the thermal-hysteresis vanadium dioxide,including negative-differential thermal emission,thermal diode,thermal memristor,thermal transistor,and beyond.The physics behind the multiplexing thermotronics lies in the thermal hysteresis emission characteristics of the phase-changing vanadium dioxide during the spatiotemporal modulation.The present spatiotemporal modulation is expected to stimulate more exploration on novel functionalities,system integration,and practical applications of thermotronics.
