Rationally designed architected materials have attained previously untapped territories in
materials property space. The properties and behaviours of architected materials need not …

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 study of classical wave physics has been reinvigorated by incorporating the concept of
the geometric phase, which has its roots in optics, and topological notions that were …

Mechanical metamaterials exhibit properties and functionalities that cannot be realized in
conventional materials. Originally, the field focused on achieving unusual (zero or negative) …

Mechanical metamaterials are man-made structures with counterintuitive mechanical
properties that originate in the geometry of their unit cell instead of the properties of each …

Mechanical metamaterials are a class of artificial materials whose geometry is engineered to
have peculiar mechanical properties or programmed responses that are difficult to find in …

The concept of topological energy bands and their manifestations have been demonstrated
in condensed matter systems as a fantastic paradigm toward unprecedented physical …

In this paper, we give a review of the state of the art in the study of mechanical
metamaterials. The very attractive property of having a microstructure capable of …

Metamaterials are artificially structured materials with unusual properties, such as negative
Poisson's ratio, acoustic band gap, and energy absorption. However, metamaterials made of …
