Black-Hole Ringdown from Photon-Sphere Modes in an Elastic Analogue

Jiaoqing Wang, Chenni Xu, Sophia Purow +2

Quasinormal modes (QNMs) govern the ringdown of black holes, yet their physical origin and experimental accessibility remain limited. Here we create an elastic analogue of a black…

Neural-field design of broadband Rayleigh-wave carpet cloaks under microstructure realisability constraints

David Aznaurov, Davit Piliposyan, Danila Rukhovich +1

Transformation elasticity provides appropriate material distributions for elastodynamic cloaks but the required stiffness tensors generally violate the minor symmetries of Cauchy e…

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…

Stochastic cloaking: concealing a region from diffusive particles

Connor Roberts, Ziluo Zhang, Helder Rojas +4

We introduce "stochastic cloaking," where a region of space is concealed from an ensemble of diffusing particles whose individual trajectories are governed by a stochastic (Langevi…

Robust Quasi-Bound States in the continuum: Accidental and Symmetry-Protected Variants in Dielectric Metasurfaces

Hicham Mangach, Abdelhaq Belkacem, Younes Achaoui +3

Recently, man-made dielectric materials composed of finite-sized dielectric constituents have emerged as a promising platform for quasi-bound states in the continuum (QBICs). These…

Bi-functional metamaterial based on Helmholtz resonators for sound and heat insulation

Brahim Lemkalli, Zine El Abiddine Fellah, Sébastien Guenneau +3

Over the last few decades, both heat and broadband sound reduction have become increasingly significant as a result of concerns about the environment and noise pollution. In order…
