A Single‐Solvent Acetone Strategy for Surface Enhancement and Robust Bonding in PMMA Microfluidic Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A single‐solvent acetone strategy simultaneously restores laser‐ablated PMMA surfaces and enables high‐strength bonding for microfluidic device fabrication. The process produces smooth, optically clear channels, achieves bonding strengths up to 27.3 MPa, and forms leak‐free devices within 25 min, providing a rapid and accessible route to robust PMMA ...

Large‐Area Flat Optics Color Routing in Tilted Arrays of 2D Semiconductor Nanostripes

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
We develop a scalable flat optics platform exploiting self‐organised ion‐beam sputtering and maskless glancing‐angle deposition to fabricate centimetre‐scale arrays of tilted MoS2 nanostripes. The engineered geometry activates Rayleigh anomalies, guided modes, and Mie resonances, enabling highly directional color routing and enhanced light harvesting ...

Electrically Reconfigurable Optical Initialization of Spin Valley Polarization in Monolayer WS2 Enabled by Switchable Dual‐Mode Liquid Crystal Lasers

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents an electrically controllable approach to spin–valley polarization in monolayer WS2 by integrating it with a dual‐mode liquid crystal laser. Applying an external field triggers phase transitions that switch the laser emission between helicity‐defined band‐edge lasing and unpolarized random lasing.

A new estimate for oceanic precipitation amount and distribution using complementary precipitation observations from space and comparison with GPCP

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2020
This study produces near global (81°S/N) spatial and seasonal maps of oceanic precipitation rate using complementary information from advanced precipitation measuring sensors and provides an independent reference that can be used to assess current ...

Broadening the perspective on ocean privatizations: an interdisciplinary social science enquiry

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2020
Privatization of the ocean, in the sense of defining more exclusive property rights, is taking place in increasingly diverse ways. Because of more intensive and diversified use patterns and increasing sustainability challenges, it is likely that this ...

Extrinsic Limitations of Stealthy Hyperuniform Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Stealthy hyperuniform devices exhibit a scattering‐free angular region whose extent follows a simple quenching equation. Experimental measurements confirm this prediction but reveal quenching efficiencies far below theoretical expectations. Multiple scattering and finite‐size effects are quantified, establishing realistic performance limits for ...

Ocean Temperature Profiling Lidar: Analysis of Technology and Potential for Rapid Ocean Observations

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Development of ocean measurement technologies can improve monitoring of the global Ocean Heat Content (OHC) and Heat Storage Rate (HSR) that serve as early-warning indices for climate-critical circulation processes such as the Atlantic Meridional ...

Anthropogenic CO2 of High Emission Scenario Compensated After 3500 Years of Ocean Alkalinization With an Annually Constant Dissolution of 5 Pg of Olivine

open access: yesFrontiers in Climate, 2020
The CO2 removal model inter-comparison (CDRMIP) has been established to approximate the usefulness of climate mitigation by some well-defined negative emission technologies.

Hybridization of Gap Plasmons and Grating‐Coupled Surface Plasmon Polaritons in Metal Nanoparticle Cluster Arrays on a Mirror

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Here we use a template‐assisted self‐assembly approach of metal colloids onto metal films to produce hybrid plasmonic metasurfaces that integrate nanoparticle‐on‐mirror cavities with periodic metal colloid arrays. The resulting coupling between gap plasmons and grating‐coupled surface plasmon polaritons enables programmable hybrid modes with tailored ...
