Programmable Inter‐Droplet Communication by Polymer‐Gated Ion Transport Through Nanopore Lattices
Laser‐written polyelectrolyte barriers were applied for regulating imbibition and ion transport through silica mesopores between droplet compartments. Specific imbibition sequences and precipitation readouts indicated cation‐selective transport across the barriers. Depending on salt identity, barrier, and experimental parameters, ionic transport ranged

Vortex Light Bullets Guided by Disclination Defects
A new class of stable and thresholdless light bullets carrying vorticity, guided by the disclination defects introduced into Su–Schrieffer–Heeger‐like lattices with a focusing cubic nonlinearity, is reported. Different discrete rotational symmetry of the aperiodic lattice determines the allowed values of the topological charge of the vortex bullets ...
