Nuts and bolts of supersymmetry
A topological mechanism is a zero-elastic-energy deformation of a mechanical structure that is robust against smooth changes in system parameters. Here, we map the nonlinear elasticity of a paradigmatic class of topological mechanisms onto a supersymmetric field theory introduced by Witten and Olive...
