The project centers on a macroscopic 2D metamaterial we recently developed: arrays of interacting magnets. This platform is uniquely suited for exploring and engineering frustration effects and related liquid-like physics, as it allows precise control over each individual meta-spin while enabling full spatial resolution of the overall spin configuration and real-time tracking of its evolution. With this capability, we aim to uncover unconventional emergent phenomena, reminiscent of effects encountered in different research fields—such as phase separation effects, typically studied in combinatorial mathematics, or charge separation, transport, and recombination, which are central to condensed-matter physics.
