WELCOME ABOARD!
OUR MISSION IS TO USE THE MATERIALS DOMAIN OF MECHANICAL METAMATERIALS AS AN EXEMPLAR TO CREATE ROBUST FAIR DATASETS AND TO CREATE A NOVEL AI FRAMEWORK FOR DISCOVERY.
What are Metamaterials?
Metamaterials are structured composite materials that derive their physical properties from the geometrical shapes in their unit cells, which tessellate to form the full material.

Check out this link to a metamaterial explorer that computes the effective properties of metamaterial unit cells based on their geometry!
Elastodynamic metamaterials can exhibit band gaps: frequency ranges where waves are not allowed to propagate.
What types of waves can we impact?

Phononic Waves
Works with phonons: e.g., elastic wave band gaps
Image
Electromagnetic Waves
Works with photons: e.g. invisibility cloak
