Agentic metasurface design with self-correcting language-model systems
Bei Wu, Bo Xiong, Haiyao Luo +5
Automated metasurface design is increasingly important, and recent advances in language-model systems are opening a route toward agentic optical design. Yet modern metasurface appl…
End-to-end autonomous scientific discovery on a real optical platform
Shuxing Yang, Fujia Chen, Rui Zhao +10
Scientific research has long been human-led, driving new knowledge and transformative technologies through the continual revision of questions, methods and claims as evidence accum…
Realizing anomalous Floquet non-Abelian band topology in photonic scattering networks
Yuze Hu, Mingyu Tong, Tian Jiang +10
The concept of multi-gap topology has recently been shown to give rise to uncharted phases beyond conventional single-gap classifications. These phases relate to band nodes with no…
Realization of Weyl elastic metamaterials with spin skyrmions
Yuang Pan, Liang Si, Miao Yang +18
Topological elastic metamaterials provide a topologically robust way to manipulate the phononic energy and information beyond the conventional approaches. Among various topological…
Photonic antiferromagnetic topological insulator with a single surface Dirac cone
Fujia Chen, Ning Han, Songyang Pu +12
Antiferromagnetism, characterized by magnetic moments aligned in alternating directions with a vanished ensemble average, has garnered renewed interest for its potential applicatio…
Ultrafast control of braiding topology in non-Hermitian metasurfaces
Yuze Hu, Mingyu Tong, Ziheng Ren +5
The mathematical theory of braids, influential across scientific disciplines, has emerged as a compelling strategy for light manipulation. Existing approaches to creating braids in…
