Shear‐Mode Direct Piezoelectric Response of Ferroelectric Nematic Liquid Crystals
Periodic shear‐induced electric current measurements are reported on two archetypic ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal compounds. From the temperature, frequency and shear angle dependent results of the first and second harmonic current signals together with temperature and oscillatory rheology measurements, the effective piezoelectric coupling ...

Use of second-harmonic generation in mode locking of continuously operating solid-state lasers
An analysis is made of effective mode locking in continuously operating solid-state lasers by modulators based on second-harmonic generation. A new type of modulator is proposed in which a radiation field replica, attenuated as a result of harmonic ...

Emergence of Unconventional Magnetic Order in Strain‐Engineered RuO2/TiO2 Superlattices
Epitaxial strain activates unconventional magnetism in rutile RuO2, absent in bulk or relaxed RuO2. Polarized neutron reflectometry with atomic‐layer resolution directly reveals finite magnetization confined to RuO2 layers in fully strained RuO2/TiO2 superlattices on TiO2 (110).

A Molecularly Defined Midbrain Circuit Mechanism for Sound‐Driven Defensive Behavior and Anxiety
Schematic diagram showing the Cbln2+ ICx–dPAG circuit for sound‐driven defensive and anxiety‐like behaviors. ABSTRACT The innate defense behaviors in response to threatening sounds play a fundamental role in survival. However, the neural circuits that detect threat‐relevant auditory cues and transform them into defensive behaviors remain poorly defined.

Sea Cucumber‐Inspired Double‐Network Biopolymer Hydrogels for Programmable Soft Machines
Inspired by the mutable dermis of sea cucumbers, the collagen‐alginate double‐network elastomeric (CoDE) hydrogel achieves programmable, recoverable, and functional mechanical behavior. The CoDE hydrogel mimics the mutable stiffness of the sea cucumber dermis through a densified collagen cryogel scaffold that is secondarily reinforced by a dissipative,

Analytical Prediction of Critical Transitions in Oscillator Networks With Non‐Local Links
An analytical framework reveals how global coupling, second‐harmonic strength, noise, and network structure govern oscillator‐based Ising dynamics. Spectral reduction predicts stability boundaries, while Fokker–Planck analysis captures one‐ to two‐cluster transitions and identifies conditions favoring low‐energy configurations.
