Extraordinary Multifunctional Disordered Composites
Abstract
Disordered hyperuniform many-body systems are new, exotic states of matter that lie between a crystal and a liquid: they are like perfect crystals in the way they suppress large-scale density fluctuations and yet are statistically isotropic like liquids. Now there is a realization that such states play vital roles in a number of fundamental and applied problems: glass formation, jamming, rigidity, band-gap structures, biology, localization of waves and excitations, self-organization, fluid dynamics, quantum systems, and pure mathematics. This activity strongly indicates that this is an emerging field with potentially explosive growth.
