ABSTRACT In the interstellar medium, chemical reactions proceed under conditions vastly different to those on Earth; these include extremely low temperatures and densities and take place in the gas phase and on water–ice grains. Understanding the energetics and more importantly the kinetics of such reactions is of relevance to the consequences on how ...

ABSTRACT Recent experiments by Nunes et al. have demonstrated that unprecedented control of chemical reactions is possible by narrowband infrared vibrational photo‐excitation at low temperatures in inert matrices. The generated higher energy level conformers may then undergo rotamerisation and tautomerisation reactions which provide extremely useful ...

A Tale of Three Cities: Deconstructing the Cross of Gastines in Paris, 1571
This article considers the erection and subsequent removal of the Parisian Cross of Gastines, a monument commemorating the execution of three Protestant men, between 1569 and 1571. It seeks to foreground the spatial qualities of this tumultuous episode,

Abstract Purpose This registry study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of collagen membrane‐covered matrix‐associated autologous chondrocyte implantation (cMACI) versus periosteum‐covered MACI (pMACI) for large knee cartilage defects (Outerbridge III–IV, ≥4 cm²) in the femorotibial and/or patellofemoral joints with a minimum 2‐year follow ...

Loop Quantum Photonic Chip for Coherent Multi‐Time‐Step Evolution
A loop quantum photonic chip (Loop‐QPC) enabling efficient multi‐step quantum simulation in a single run is demonstrated. Combining recirculating loops with cycle‐or‐measure control, Loop‐QPC eliminates repeated reprogramming and reduces loss. Experimental demonstration of three‐step unitary evolution confirms high‐fidelity operation, showcasing the ...

Quantization of Polaritons Confined in Dielectric Structures
This study addresses the limitations of the Hopfield model of strong light‐matter coupling in the case of structured dieletrics. A method to derive quantum models in the polariton basis using Bogoliubov transformation and third quantization is introduced, demonstrating how to boost interaction strength and engineer nonlocal interactions for strongly ...

An optical approach is proposed for real‐time and high‐precision detection of the magnetostrictive deformation of an yttrium‐iron‐garnet sphere in three dimensions, based on the deformation induced spatial high‐order modes of the scattered field, postselection, and balanced homodyne detection.

Theory of Supercritical Coupling and Generalized Bound States in the Continuum
We develop a general theory of supercritical coupling and generalized bound states in the continuum (gBICs), revealing how interference between radiative and absorptive channels enables quality factors beyond conventional material‐loss limits. The framework unifies non‐Hermitian mode coupling, causality‐driven reactive interactions, and interference ...

Coherence variation is ubiquitous in nature, yet determining how it constrains physical observables remains challenging for multimode waves. To address this challenge, this work establishes a majorization‐based theory that identifies the supremum and infimum in the set of input coherence spectra, which provide optimal universal bounds for any linear ...

Bounded Frequency Lattices in Coupled Lithium Niobate Ring Cavities
We leverage coupled asymmetric ring resonators in realizing bounded tight‐binding frequency lattices and demonstrate their discrete band structures on an integrated device. Suppression of long‐range coupling with a single auxiliary cavity is demonstrated by combining mode splitting and coupled waveguide dispersion effects.
