Within a time span of 15 years, acoustic metamaterials have emerged from academic
curiosity to become an active field driven by scientific discoveries and diverse application …

Initially proposed to achieve strong noise isolation levels beyond the mass-density law,
acoustic metamaterials (AMMs) have now overturned the conventional views in all aspects …

In the past two decades, acoustic metamaterials have garnered much attention owing to
their unique functional characteristics, which are difficult to find in naturally available …

Zero-refractive-index materials may lead to promising applications in various fields. Here,
we design and fabricate a near Zero-Refractive-Index (ZRI) material using a phononic …

Impurities usually play an important role in modifying the bulk properties of electronic or
electromagnetic materials. In this work, we demonstrate a way to break this discipline and …

We report the first realization of a three-dimensional (3D) acoustic double-zero-index
medium (DZIM) made of a cubic lattice of metal rods. While the past decade has seen …

Coherent perfect absorption, as time‐reversed lasing, is achieved via appropriate
interference of waves in absorbers and provides attractive opportunities for flexible control of …

Accidental degeneracy in a photonic crystal consisting of a square array of elliptical
dielectric cylinders leads to both a semi-Dirac point at the center of the Brillouin zone and an …

We propose a method to control electromagnetic flux in an almost arbitrary way in
wavelength and subwavelength scales. The capability of subwavelength flux control is …

Defects are generally inevitable when fabricating the constituent structures of tensegrity
metamaterials. How structural defects affect the mechanical properties of such …
