Recent advances have demonstrated that the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE), induced by
system non-Hermiticity, can manipulate the localization of in-gap topological edge modes …

The elastic matrices of extremal metamaterials have one or more zero eigenvalues, allowing
energy-free deformation modes. These elastic metamaterials can be well approximated by …

Maxwell's equations in vacuum provide the negative speed of light-c, which leads to
imaginary Planck units. However, the second, negative fine-structure constant $\alpha_2 …

Topological pumping, as an efficient form of energy transfer protected by nontrivial topology,
has been intensively studied in condensed matter physics and optics. Conventional …
