This letter responds to Milton’s commentary [1], which questions the originality of the microstructure proposed by Brambilla et al. [2]. We trace the origins of this class of designs to Sigmund’s 2000 work in 2D [3]and to the 3D extension introduced by Milton et al. in 2017 [4]. Finally, we highlight that our study makes several important contributions. One of these is the design of a material whose properties closely resemble those of water, making it ideal for acoustic applications.

Abstract
This letter responds to Milton’s commentary [1], which questions the originality of the microstructure proposed by Brambilla et al. [2]. We trace the origins of this class of designs to Sigmund’s 2000 work in 2D [3] and to the 3D extension introduced by Milton et al. in 2017 [4]. Finally, we highlight that our study makes several important contributions. One of these is the design of a material whose properties closely resemble those of water, making it ideal for acoustic applications.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
