Large classes of electronic, photonic, and acoustic crystals and quasi-crystals have been predicted to support topological wave-modes. Some of these modes are stabilized by certain symmetries but others occur as pure wave phenomena, hence they can be observed in many other media that support wave propagation. Surface water-waves are mechanical in nature but very different from the elastic waves, hence they can provide a new platform for studying topological wave-modes. Motivated by this perspective, we report theoretical and experimental characterizations of water-wave crystals obtained by periodic patterning of the water surface. In particular, we demonstrate the band structure of the spectra and existence of spectral gaps.

A variety of scientific fields like proteomics and spintronics have created a new demand for on-chip devices capable of sensing parameters localized within a few tens of micrometers. Nano and microelectromechanical systems (NEMS/MEMS) are extensively employed for monitoring parameters that exert uniform forces over hundreds of micrometers or more, such as acceleration, pressure, and magnetic fields. However, they can show significantly degraded sensing performance when targeting more localized parameters, like the mass of a single cell.

In quantum mechanics, spin is a physical property that dominates the topological behaviors. While manifesting the spin states they reveal complex interaction of physical parameters in a topological media. The guided waves' inherent spin states are made of real physical spin angular momentum from the superposition of elastic waves.

Topological properties of energy flow of light are fundamentally interesting and may introduce novel physical phenomena associated with directional light scattering and optical trapping. In this Letter, skyrmionlike structures formed by Poynting vectors are unveiled in the focal region of two pairs of counterpropagating cylindrical vector vortex beams in free space. The appearance of local phase singularities, and the distinct traveling and standing wave modes of different field components passing through the focal spot lead to a Néel-Bloch-Néel transition of Poynting vector skyrmion textures along the light propagating direction.

Hedgehog and antihedgehog spin textures in magnets behave as emergent monopoles and antimonopoles, which give rise to astonishing transport and electromagnetic phenomena. Using the Kondo-lattice model in three dimensions, we theoretically study collective spin-wave excitation modes of magnetic hedgehog lattices which have recently been discovered in itinerant magnets such as MnSi_{1-x}Ge_{x} and SrFeO_{3}. It is revealed that the spin-wave modes, which appear in the subterahertz regime, have dominant amplitudes localized at Dirac strings connecting hedgehog-antihedgehog pairs and are characterized by their translational oscillations.

Three dimensional magnetic textures are a cornerstone in magnetism research. In this work, we analyze the stabilization and dynamic response of a magnetic hopfion hosted in a toroidal nanoring with intrinsic Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction simulating FeGe. Our results evidence that unlike their planar counterparts, where perpendicular magnetic anisotropies are necessary to stabilize hopfions, the shape anisotropy originated on the torus symmetry naturally yields the nucleation of these topological textures.
