Ruzzene Group featured in Nature publication on new field of twistronics

July 2, 2021

Researchers in mechanical engineering have published new findings that explore the properties of mechanical lattices, or opposed to atomic lattices, which are twisted relative to each other. The research is part of the new field of 鈥渢wistronics鈥 in physics and has potential applications in the design of new materials that are able to transmit or absorb sound.
