Topological acoustics is an emerging field that lies at the intersection of condensed matter
physics, mechanical structural design and acoustics engineering. It explores the design and …

Light and sound are the most ubiquitous forms of waves, associated with a variety of
phenomena and physical effects such as rainbows and echoes. Light and sound, both …

Noise pollution has become a significant global problem in recent years. Unfortunately,
conventional acoustic materials cannot offer substantial improvements in noise reduction …

Time-varying media have recently emerged as a new paradigm for wave manipulation, due
to the synergy between the discovery of highly nonlinear materials, such as epsilon-near …

Recent research in topological photonics has not only proposed and realized novel
topological phenomena such as one‐way broadband propagation and robust transport of …

Double-slit experiments—where a wave is transmitted through a thin double aperture in
space—have confirmed the wave–particle duality of quantum objects, such as single …

A review is given on the foundations and applications of non-Hermitian classical and
quantum physics. First, key theorems and central concepts in non-Hermitian linear algebra …

Topological features embedded in ancient braiding and knotting arts endow significant
impacts on our daily life and even cutting-edge science. Recently, fast growing efforts are …

Mechanical mechanisms have been used to process information for millennia, with famous
examples ranging from the Antikythera mechanism of the Ancient Greeks to the analytical …

The topological properties of an object, associated with an integer called the topological
invariant, are global features that cannot change continuously but only through abrupt …
