Origami-inspired quasi-zero stiffness metamaterials for low-frequency multi-direction vibration isolation

Multi-directional low-frequency vibration isolation is an unavoidable problem in many practical engineering scenarios. However, to date, most works are unable to achieve this goal, and those that can do so only to some degree, but their structure is complex and large, limiting the range of applications in practical engineering.

Meta-photonics: A bridge between physical association and digital models in photonics

Recently, the burgeoning field of metaverse has facilitated the convergence of digital scenarios and the real world to achieve unprecedented interaction patterns. Inspired by this digital approach, we propose the concept of meta-photonics to gain insight into the photonics underlying increasingly complex phenomena, while traditional physics theory is not keeping pace with current observations.
