Wave Coarsening Drives Time Crystallization in Mechatronic Metamaterials
A video introducing our work on wave coarsening, published in Nature.
The four supplementary videos accompanying our Nature paper.
Supplementary Video 1 — Wave coarsening in 2D
Non-reciprocal unit cells develop spontaneous oscillations. In a lattice of 37 cells, short waves grow into large, slow deformations spanning the whole material.
Supplementary Video 2 — Power-law coarsening
Two-dimensional simulations track how spatial correlations and elastic energy evolve as the waves increase in wavelength and amplitude.
Supplementary Video 3 — Wave coarsening in a 1D ring
A ring of 24 non-reciprocal unit cells evolves from short travelling waves into a stable, low-frequency time-crystalline state.
Supplementary Video 4 — Frictional arrest and edge waves
Friction stops waves from growing to span the material. Experiments and simulations show persistent strain defects and waves concentrated near the edges.
