We present a computational model for the nonlinear response of molecular oxygen exposed to strong mid-wavelength and long-wavelength infrared optical fields. Based on a non-Hermitian approach utilizing metastable electronic states, the nonlinear polarization and strong-field ionization are described as intimately connected properties. Good agreement with the measured nonlinear index and ionization rates is shown, and parameterized response functions are provided to facilitate applications in large-scale simulations of infrared optical pulses interacting with gaseous media.

Metasurfaces supporting narrowband resonances are of significant interest in photonics for molecular sensing, quantum light source engineering, and nonlinear photonics. However, many device architectures rely on large refractive index dielectric materials and lengthy fabrication processes. In this work, we demonstrate quasi-bound states in the continuum (quasi-BICs) using a polymer metasurface exhibiting experimental quality factors of 305 at visible wavelengths.

Electrorheological fluids are suspensions that are characterized by a strong functional dependence of their constitutive behavior on the local electric field. While such fluids are known to be promising in different applications of microfluidics including electrokinetic flows, their capabilities of controlling ion transport and preferential solute segregation in confined fluidic systems remain to be explored. In this work, we bring out the unique role of electrorheological fluids in orchestrating the selective enrichment and depletion of charged species in variable area microfluidic channels.

A major uncertainty in predicting the behaviour of marine-terminating glaciers is ice dynamics driven by non-linear calving front retreat, which is poorly understood and modelled. Using 124919 calving front positions for 149 marine-terminating glaciers in Svalbard from 1985 to 2023, generated with deep learning, we identify pervasive calving front retreats for non-surging glaciers over the past 38 years. We observe widespread seasonal cycles in calving front position for over half of the glaciers.

A thorium-carbon double bond that corresponds to the sum of theoretical covalent double bond radii has long been sought after in the study of actinide-ligand multiple bonding as a synthetic target. However, the stabilization of this chemical bond remains a great challenge to date, in part because of a relatively poor energetic matching between 5f-/6d- orbitals of thorium and the 2s-/2p- frontier orbitals of carbon. Herein, we report the successful synthesis of a thorium-carbon double bond in a carbon-bridged actinide-transition metal cluster, i.
