Physicists have uncovered the mechanical forces that shape the iconic structure of rose petals, revealing how geometric frustration influences their curling patterns. This discovery provides ...

Striations appear almost instantaneously when a mechanical stress was applied to proximal (purple) adaxial region of Hibiscus trionum petals. The movie is in real-time.

Metalens modulate the light field with subwavelength structure, also known as meta-atoms, offering numerous advantages such as lightweight design, ease of integration, and high controllability.
