Travelling Sound Waves
Topomechanics
Topological acoustic metamaterials: Metamaterials are artificially designed materials which possess properties that go beyond those of their building blocks. In particular, acoustic metamaterials are used for the controlled manipulation of sound waves that travel through a medium. In our research we concentrate on the transfer of ideas and know-how from the study of low-temperature electronic phenomena, such as topological insulators, to the arena of classical mechanical systems. more…
