We have realized an extended topological mode in acoustics. Congrats to Xulong for his first first-author
paper!

Can long-range interactions be stronger than short-range ones in a material? We use new tricks to achieve this in acoustics and demonstrate unconventional topological modes. Congratulations to Dongyi on her first PRL! (Oct. 2023)
