Programming nanomechanical computation with light
Xiaofei Guo, Jonne Drost, Fons van der Laan +3
Looking at physical systems as computers allows us to regard physical properties, such as thermal noise, symmetry or topology, as unconventional resources for computation. However,…

Non-reciprocal topological solitons in active metamaterials
Jonas Veenstra, Oleksandr Gamayun, Xiaofei Guo +3
From protein motifs to black holes, topological solitons are pervasive nonlinear excitations that are robust and can be driven by external fields. So far, existing driving mechanis…

Model-free characterization of topological edge and corner states in mechanical networks
Marcelo Guzman, Xiaofei Guo, Corentin Coulais +2
Topological materials can host edge and corner states that are protected from disorder and material imperfections. In particular, the topological edge states of mechanical structur…
