DOI: 10.1002/advs.202302475
Abstract: Maxwell lattices possess distinct topological states that feature mechanically polarized edge behaviors and asymmetric dynamic responses protected by the topology of their phonon bands. Until now, demonstrations of non-trivial topological behaviors from Maxwell lattices have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/5.0035481
Abstract: When a soft mechanical metamaterial, consisting of a regular array of representative volume elements (RVEs), is stressed up to a large strain, the delicately tailored behavior of the RVE does not prevail in the metamaterial… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics3040032
Abstract: Living beings use mechanical interaction with the environment to gather essential cues for implementing necessary movements and actions. This process is mediated by biomechanics, primarily of the sensory structures, meaning that, at first, mechanical stimuli… read more here.
