Basis‐Independent Geometric Phase Modulation in Circularly Birefringent Plasmonic Structures
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Here we introduce a plasmonic metasurface composed of spatially rotated chiral spiral unit cells designed to produce space‐variant circular retardance. This generates a geometric phase ramp equivalent to a blazed grating, leading to polarization dependent diffraction orders in momentum space.

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

A Critical Time Window of Neocortex Modulation for Remote Fear Memory in Rats and Humans
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies a delayed consolidation window around 18 h after fear learning in the mPFC essential for remote fear memory. VTA dopaminergic input during this window sustains remote memory in rats, while non‐invasive stimulation of homologous human mPFC at the corresponding time selectively weakens remote but not recent fear memory, revealing a ...

Friend, Not Foe: Lowered Tissue Reactivity to Long‐Term Polyimide Implants
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The choice of optimal neural probe designs remains a major challenge in the field of neurotechnology. This study investigated the biocompatibility of several probe variations, including material, thickness, width, and implantation strategy. It highlights the clear advantage of soft polyimide probes over stiff silicon probes for better device ...
