Holographic CFTs admit a dual emergent description in terms of semiclassical general relativity minimally coupled to matter fields. While the gravitational interactions are required to be suppressed by the Planck scale, the matter sector is…
Mechanical metamaterials are artificial structures with unusual properties, such as negative Poisson ratio, bistability or tunable vibrational properties, that originate in the geometry of their unit cell. At the heart of such unusual…
In nature, most materials are composed of atoms with periodic structures. Hence, it's impossible to introduce topological structures into their lattice compose, because the atoms as basic blocks cannot be modulated. However, the lattice…
