A soft-clamped topological waveguide for phonons
Nature, Published online: 04 June 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-025-09092-xA substantial reduction of losses in a phononic waveguide can be achieved by soft clamping, through which phonons can be guided through very sharp turns with losses accounting for less than one phonon in a million.
