Slow kinks in dissipative kirigami
Shahram Janbaz, Corentin Coulais
Mechanical waves that travel without inertia are often encountered in nature -- e.g. motion of plants -- yet such waves remain rare in synthetic materials. Here, we discover the em…
Edible meta-atoms
André Souto, Jian Zhang, Alejandro M. Aragón +2
Metamaterials are artificial structures with unusual and superior properties that come from their carefully designed building blocks -- also called meta-atoms. Metamaterials have p…
Oligomodal mechanical metamaterials
Aleksi Bossart, David M. J. Dykstra, Jop van der Laan +1
Mechanical metamaterials are artifical composites that exhibit a wide range of advanced functionalities such as negative Poisson's ratio, shape-shifting, topological protection, mu…
Tuning flow asymmetry with bio-inspired soft leaflets
Martin Brandenbourger, Adrien Dangremont, Rudolf Sprik +1
In Nature, liquids often circulate in channels textured with leaflets, cilia or porous walls that deform with the flow. These soft structures are optimized to passively control flo…
Observation of non-Hermitian topology and its bulk-edge correspondence in an active mechanical metamaterial
Ananya Ghatak, Martin Brandenbourger, Jasper van Wezel +1
Topological edge modes are excitations that are localized at the materials' edges and yet are characterized by a topological invariant defined in the bulk. Such bulk-edge correspon…
Viscoelastic Metamaterials
David M. J. Dykstra, Joris Busink, Bernard Ennis +1
Mechanical metamaterials are artificial composites with tunable advanced mechanical properties. Particularly interesting types of mechanical metamaterials are flexible metamaterial…
