Nothing like posting on the arXiv during the APS March Meeting the paper that you're about to present in your talk:
Combinatorial Design of Floppy Modes and Frustrated Loops in Metamaterials (fun work with Wenfeng Liu, Tomer Sigalov & Corentin Coulais) arxiv.org/abs/2503.12867

Excited to share TWO new preprints:
1) Breaking Mechanical Holography in Combinatorial Metamaterials - building blocks that don't induce holographic order allow to build lots of mechanially compatible metamaterials and to design the texture (almost) on their entire boundary
