Personalized identification, prediction, and stimulation of neural oscillations via data-driven models of epileptic network dynamics
Tena Dubcek, Debora Ledergerber, Jana Thomann +4
Neural oscillations are considered to be brain-specific signatures of information processing and communication in the brain. They also reflect pathological brain activity in neurol…
Binary classification of spoken words with passive phononic metamaterials
Tena Dubček, Daniel Moreno-Garcia, Thomas Haag +11
Mitigating the energy requirements of artificial intelligence requires novel physical substrates for computation. Phononic metamaterials have a vanishingly low power dissipation an…
Broadband acoustic invisibility and illusions
Theodor S. Becker, Dirk-Jan van Manen, Thomas Haag +6
Rendering objects invisible to impinging acoustic waves (cloaking) and creating acoustic illusions (holography) has been attempted using active and passive approaches. While passiv…
Discovery of topological metamaterials by symmetry relaxation and smooth topological indicators
Cyrill Bösch, Tena Dubček, Frank Schindler +2
Robustness against small perturbations is a crucial feature of topological properties. This robustness is both a source of theoretical interest and a drive for technological applic…
Experimental characterization of fragile topology in an acoustic metamaterial
Valerio Peri, Zhi-Da Song, Marc Serra-Garcia +7
Symmetries crucially underlie the classification of topological phases of matter. Most materials, both natural as well as architectured, possess crystalline symmetries. Recent theo…
Turing complete mechanical processor via automated nonlinear system design
Marc Serra-Garcia
Nanomechanical computers promise a greatly improved energetic efficiency compared to their electrical counterparts. However, progress towards this goal is hindered by a lack of mod…
Characterization of vertically aligned carbon nanotube forests grown on stainless steel surfaces
Eleftheria Roumeli, Marianna Diamantopoulou, Marc Serra-Garcia +3
Vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) forests are a particularly interesting class of nanomaterials, because they combine multifunctional properties, such as high energy absorpt…
Observation of Quadrupole Transitions and Edge Mode Topology in an LC network
Marc Serra-Garcia, Roman Süsstrunk, Sebastian D. Huber
High-order topological insulators are a recent development extending the topological theory of charge polarization to higher multipole moments. Since their theoretical proposal, se…
Axial-field-induced chiral channels in an acoustic Weyl system
Valerio Peri, Marc Serra-Garcia, Roni Ilan +1
Condensed-matter and other engineered systems, such as cold atoms, photonic, or phononic metamaterials, have proven to be versatile platforms for the observation of low-energy coun…
Observation of a phononic quadrupole topological insulator
Marc Serra-Garcia, Valerio Peri, Roman Süsstrunk +4
The modern theory of charge polarization in solids is based on a generalization of Berry's phase. Its possible quantization lies at the heart of our understanding of all systems wi…
Tunable, synchronized frequency down-conversion in magnetic lattices with defects
Marc Serra-Garcia, Miguel Molerón, Chiara Daraio
We study frequency conversion in nonlinear mechanical lattices, focusing on a chain of magnets as a model system. We show that by inserting mass defects at suitable locations, we c…
Designing Perturbative Metamaterials from Discrete Models: From Veselago lenses to topological insulators
Kathryn H. Matlack, Marc Serra-Garcia, Antonio Palermo +2
Discrete models provide concise descriptions of complex physical phenomena, such as negative refraction, topological insulators, and Anderson localization. While there are multiple…
A mechanical autonomous stochastic heat engine
Marc Serra-Garcia, André Foehr, Miguel Molerón +3
Stochastic heat engines are devices that generate work from random thermal motion using a small number of highly fluctuating degrees of freedom. Proposals for such devices have exi…
Visco-thermal effects in acoustic metamaterials: from total transmission to total reflection and high absorption
Miguel Molerón, Marc Serra-Garcia, Chiara Daraio
We theoretically and experimentally investigate visco-thermal effects on the acoustic propagation through metamaterials consisting of rigid slabs with subwavelength slits embedded…
Extraordinary stiffness tunability through thermal expansion of nonlinear defect modes
Marc Serra-Garcia, Joseph Lydon, Chiara Daraio
Incremental stiffness characterizes the variation of a material's force response to a small deformation change. Typically materials have an incremental stiffness that is fixed and…
