Space-Time Elastic Metamaterials for Zero-Frequency and Zero-Wavenumber Bandgaps

Brahim Lemkalli, Alaa Ali, Qingxiang Ji +5

We create wave-matter space-time metamaterials using optical trapping forces to manipulate mass-spring chains and create zero-frequency and zero-wavenumber band gaps: the bosonic n…

Optical chiral microrobot for out-of-plane rotation

Alaa M. Ali, Edison Gerena, Julio Andrés Iglesias Martínez +6

Optical microrobots (OPTOBOTs) have garnered significant interest, particularly in the medical field, due to their potential for precise cell manipulation in various biological stu…

Pumping with Symmetry

Julio Andrés Iglesias Martínez, Muamer Kadic, Vincent Laude +1

Re-configurable materials and meta-materials can jump between space symmetry classes during their deformations. Here, we introduce the concept of singular symmetry enhancement, whi…

Acoustic topological circuitry in square and rectangular phononic crystals

Nicolas Laforge, Richard Wiltshaw, Richard V. Craster +6

We systematically engineer a series of square and rectangular phononic crystals to create experimental realisations of complex topological phononic circuits. The exotic topological…

Optimal isotropic, reusable truss lattice material with near-zero Poisson's ratio

Xueyan Chen, Johnny Moughames, Qingxiang Ji +9

Cork is a natural amorphous material with near-zero Poisson's ratio that is ubiquitously used for sealing glass bottles. It is an anisotropic, transversally isotropic, composite th…
