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

Probiotics have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their potential
advantages in diverse biomedical applications, such as acting as antimicrobial agents …

Metamaterials (MMs), which include phononic crystals (PCs) as a particular type, exhibit
anomalous wave propagation properties through artificial design of topologies or lattice …

We present a general formalism for the analysis of mechanical lattices with microstructure
using the concept of effective dynamic mass. We first revisit a classical case of …

Recent technological advances allow fabricating ultraclean two-dimensional electronic
systems where the electron mean free path due to static disorder and phonons is much …

Motility is a fundamental feature of living matter, encompassing single cells and collective
behavior. Such living systems are characterized by nonconservativity of energy and a large …

The Lorentz reciprocal theorem—that is used to study various transport phenomena in
hydrodynamics—is violated in chiral active fluids that feature odd viscosity with broken time …

Self‐assembly fundamentally implies the organization of small sub‐units into large
structures or patterns without the intervention of specific local interactions. This process is …

Ferromagnetic ferrofluids are synthetic materials consisting of magnetic nanoplatelets
dispersed in an isotropic fluid. Their main characteristics are the formation of stable …

Living systems are chiral on multiple scales, from constituent biopolymers to large scale
morphology, and their active mechanics is both driven by chiral components and serves to …
