Dynamical Majorana edge modes in a broad class of topological mechanical systems

Properties of topological insulators can be realized in mechanical systems, opening potential applications of topological mechanics. Here, Prodanet al. report a dynamical topological Majorana edge mode in self-assembled chains of rigid bodies with particle-hole symmetry.
