Cover Story
Acoustic metamaterials are artificial materials composed of subwavelength building blocks with rationally-designed shape, geometry, size, and arrangement. They have emerged as excellent platforms for manipulating acoustic waves in ways previously considered impossible. This special topic on acoustic metamaterials, composed of four articles, aims to help researchers in related fields to better see the recent advances in the novel physics and functionality of acoustic metamaterials and the possible future development directions. We believe that the novel physics and promising directions proposed here will benefit the development of acoustic metamaterials and have far-reaching impacts in acoustics and related fields.
