Topologically protected steady cycles in an icelike mechanical metamaterial
Competing ground states may lead to topologically constrained excitations such as domain walls or quasiparticles, which govern metastable states and their dynamics. Domain walls and more exotic topological excitations are well studied in magnetic systems such as artificial spin ice, in which nanosca...
