Metamaterial-based physical neural networks and analog computing
Elastic metamaterials are formed by a spatial arrangement of small-scale unitary elements, yielding unusual dynamic characteristics at the macro-scale. Each element can be seen as a “mirror”, that is capable of refracting or stopping waves and vibrations to the next-neighbours. From a topology viewpoint, artificial neural networks (ANNs) and metamaterials share a similar structure, whereby
