After a decade of periodic truss-, plate-, and shell-based architectures having dominated the
design of metamaterials, we introduce the non-periodic class of spinodoid topologies …

We present a two-scale topology optimization framework for the design of macroscopic
bodies with an optimized elastic response, which is achieved by means of a spatially-variant …

Comprehensive investigations of crystalline systems often require methods bridging
atomistic and continuum scales. In this context, coarse-grained mesoscale approaches are …

Semiconductor heteroepitaxy involves a wealth of qualitatively different, competing
phenomena. Examples include three-dimensional island formation, injection of dislocations …

Dewetting is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature; many different thin films of organic and
inorganic substances (such as liquids, polymers, metals, and semiconductors) share this …

A new phase-field modeling framework with an emphasis on performance, flexibility, and
ease of use is presented. Foremost among the strategies employed to fulfill these objectives …

Materials featuring anomalous suppression of density fluctuations over large length scales
are emerging systems known as disordered hyperuniform. The underlying hidden order …

Abstract Large-scale, defect-free, micro-and nano-circuits with controlled inter-connections
represent the nexus between electronic and photonic components. However, their …

The generation of mechanical metamaterials with tailored effective properties through
carefully engineered microstructures requires avenues to predict optimal microstructural …

The motion of interfaces is an essential feature of microstructure evolution in crystalline
materials. While atomic-scale descriptions provide mechanistic clarity, continuum …
