Very few things make me prouder than having Jacob and @yotamfe.bsky.social's paper published today in JCP in the special issue honoring one of my personal heroes, Abraham Nitzan.

Abe is a giant of theoretical chemistry (in Israel and globally) and an inspiration to us all.

Defect Positioning in Combinatorial Metamaterials combined rigorous mathematical analysis with Yotam Feldman and Guy Cohen’s ability to translate our questions on mechanical incompatibility within the metamaterial to a constraint satisfaction problem.

Breaking Mechanical Holography in Combinatorial Metamaterials started from Naomi Spiro’s undergraduate summer project and Ofri Palti’s highschool final project. Breaking the link between the lattice's boundary & inside allows to design deformation texture on the entire boundary.

Had a great time talking with Martin about the various astonishments I've experienced while thinking hard on invariant inference and finding myself studying learning theory. Also: SAT solving for metamaterials w/ @yairshokef.bsky.social, and the joys of feeling stupid. Hope you'll enjoy it.
