The online science publication Phys.org has highlighted the work of researchers, including those from IMDEA Materials Institute, who have taken a novel approach to studying the interaction between certain topological metamaterials and sound wave propagation.

The technique, described by Dr. Johan Christensen of IMDEA Materials as “cut-and-glue,” was one of the methods employed in the recent publication “Visualizing the topological pentagon states of a giant C540 metamaterial” in Nature Communications.
