Crystalline metamaterials for topological properties at subwavelength scales

Existing classical wave analogues of topological insulator are physically wavelength scaled, limiting potential applications. Here, Yveset al. show complex topological crystalline properties in spatially ordered metamaterials with deep subwavelength resonant elements on specific lattices.
