“This study⟳ paves the way for investigating complex contact-based dynamics of microgranular media, demonstrates a novel acoustic metamaterial, and yields a new approach⟳ to studying micro- to nanoscale contact⟳ mechanics in multiparticle networks..”

“Planar metamaterials with subwavelength thickness, or metasurfaces, consisting of single-layer or few-layer stacks of planar structures, can be readily fabricated using lithography and nanoprinting methods, and the ultrathin thickness in the wave⟳ propagation direction can greatly suppress the undesirable losses.”
