  • Two-dimensional elastic membranes show great potential as functional materials, but how to engineer them with tunable mechanical properties remains challenging. Here, Yllanes et al. propose a method to induce the onset of crumpling transition in graphene-like sheets by simply altering their geometries.

  • Understanding the consequences of the interplay of defects and local curvature in crystals is far from complete despite the considerable influence that a defect has on the crystal’s local properties. It is now found that interstitials inserted in curved crystals at oil/glycerol interfaces can fractionate into two dislocations, which glide through the lattice in opposite directions until they get absorbed into existing dislocations, scars or pleats.

  • Confocal microscopy and computational analysis, now used for measuring microscale stresses in colloidal crystals, could be developed for investigation of amorphous materials, crystal melting, and mechanical properties of tissues.

  • Active matter encompasses various non-equilibrium systems in which individual constituents convert energy into non-conservative forces or motion at the microscale. This Review provides an elementary introduction to the role of topology in active matter through experimentally relevant examples.
