  • Kinks are topological solitons and central to many physical systems. Here, the authors experimentally demonstrate control and generation of zero-energy kinks in a topological mechanical metamaterial via acoustic waves and numerically show rich acoustic-wavekink dynamics in highly discrete systems.

  • Widely existing self-organised complex structures in nature exhibit a high level of sophistication, yet can one program the self-assembly process to achieve similar result in the lab remains unanswered. Here, Serafin et al. present a non-Euclidean self-assembly theory for polyhedral nanoparticles that offers insight on how to manipulate the process for realising new material capabilities.

  • On 22 December 2018, the western flank of Anak Krakatau collapsed into the sea of the Sunda Strait triggering a tsunami which killed approximately 430 people and displaced 33,000. Here, the authors show that Anak Krakatau exhibited an elevated state of activity several months prior to the collapse, including precursory thermal anomalies, an increase in the island’s surface area, and a gradual seaward motion of the southwestern flank.
