Welcome to the NMHT 2026 Conference!

This meeting gathers researchers working on heat transport on the micro-scale and below, bridging fundamental physics with nano-devices. It is a conference recognised by the European Physical Society funded by the German Research Foundation and under the auspices of the EUROTHERM Committee as Eurotherm Seminar no. 120. It will be edition IX of a European series that started in the last century in Poitiers. Previous events happened in Santorini (2016), Levi (2018), Palermo (2022), and Girona (2024).

On the micro-scale and below, heat can be transported by phonons, electrons, and photons/polaritons. Small scales or low temperatures come with exciting scientific questions about the relevant material parameters, or the nature of transport. The NMHT conference is known for addressing all of these aspects, joining experiments, theory, and simulation. For the 2026 edition, it will broaden its scope towards non-equilibrium physics and ultrafast transients typical for photo-induced heat transport.

Check our line-up of invited speakers and consider presenting your recent research. All contributions will be peer-reviewed by the scientific committee.We plan to dedicate one session to industrial challenges and commercial devices.
