Waves, whether they are travelling across the surface of the water or sound waves that reach our ears, generally have the property of propagating and filling all the space available to them. However, under certain circumstances a phenomenon called localisation occurs, in which a standing wave becom…

The conversion and storage of renewable energies has become a crucial societal challenge for containing climate change. The development of these processes relies on innovative science for the development and shaping of materials to increase their efficiency and enable large-scale deployment of rene…
