Wave coarsening drives time crystallization in active solids
Jonas Veenstra, Jack Binysh, Vito Seinen +6
When metals are magnetized, emulsions phase separate, or galaxies cluster, domain walls and patterns form and irremediably coarsen over time. Such coarsening is universally driven…
More is less in unpercolated active solids
Jack Binysh, Guido Baardink, Jonas Veenstra +2
A remarkable feat of active matter physics is that systems as diverse as collections of self-propelled particles, nematics mixed with molecular motors, and interacting robots can a…
Combinatorial Design of Floppy Modes and Frustrated Loops in Metamaterials
Wenfeng Liu, Tomer A. Sigalov, Corentin Coulais +1
Metamaterials are a promising platform for a range of applications, from shock absorption to mechanical computing. These functionalities typically rely on floppy modes or mechanica…
Mechano-optical metasurfaces
Freek van Gorp, Wenfeng Liu, Corentin Coulais +1
Tunable metasurfaces enable active and on-demand control over optical wavefronts through reconfigurable scattering of resonant nanostructures. Here, we present novel insights inspi…
Shape Morphing Metamaterials
Krzysztof K. Dudek, Muamer Kadic, Corentin Coulais +1
Mechanical metamaterials leverage geometric design to achieve unconventional properties, such as high strength at low density, efficient wave guiding, and complex shape morphing. T…
Metamaterials that learn to change shape
Yao Du, Ryan van Mastrigt, Jonas Veenstra +1
Learning to change shape is a fundamental strategy of adaptation and evolution of living organisms, from bacteria and cells to tissues and animals. Human-made materials can also ex…
