Second-order nonlinear effects from GaSe-transferred microfibers. Credit: Compuscript Ltd Second-order optical nonlinear effects have received widespread attention from researchers since its first discovery in the 1960s. Based on second-harmonic and sum-frequency effects, the lasers ranging from ultraviolet to far infrared bands have been generated, greatly promoting the development of laser techniques, optical information processing, high-resolution microscopic imaging. According to nonlinear optics and polarization theory, even-order nonlinear optical effects are strongly determined by the crystals’ centrosymmetry, and the second-order nonlinear susceptibility is nonzero only in non-centrosymmetric medium. However, as the most fundamental second-order nonlinear effect, the centrosymmetry of the silica fiber…

Photograph by Craig Blankenhorn/Max With a healthy dose of ridiculousness and not much practicality, the fashion in the ‘Sex and the City’ spinoff is still the main character. By Natalie Michie Date June 23, 2023 It’s impossible to predict what kinds of outlandish outfits will come from And Just Like That… — and that’s what makes it fun.

The various plot threads come together on The Witcher Season 3 Episode 4 to set us up for the Volume 1 finale. While Ciri is protected by Yennefer’s spell and effectively taken out of play, Jaskier and Radovid are finally honest with each other in the relative safety of the woods. The real narrative tension centers on the conclave ball, where Philippa and Dijkstra have something in the works, and Geralt and Yennefer look to trap Stregobor for the disgusting old villain that he is. Several story decisions here have contributed to a plodding sort of progress despite including elements…
The Eden Geothermal well at the Eden Project in Cornwall, UKEden Geothermal The first new deep geothermal heating plant in the UK since 1987 has opened today at the Eden Project in Cornwall, with its developers hopeful the scheme will help to inspire a new wave of geothermal energy projects across the country. Geothermal energy, which involves extracting the heat from deep underground and using it for heating and to generate electricity, currently delivers less than 0.3 per cent of the UK’s annual heat demand. Eden’s new geothermal well, which stretches almost 5 kilometres beneath Earth’s surface, is now pumping…

Robots could use living invertebrates as grippers to help them pick up awkward objects or grasp things underwater. “We don’t mean it as a replacement for robotics, but as a kind of new direction or new way to do both biology and robotics,” says Josephine Galipon at Tohoku University in Japan. But others have questioned how useful or ethical this approach is.Advertisement Researchers have previously experimented with using live insects to control entire robots or even using whole dead spiders as robotic grippers. Galipon and her colleagues have now made grippers using pill bugs – a kind of woodlouse –…
Images Courtesy of Maison Birks and Deborah Pagani Plus, nine modern-day styles to add to your ring stack. By Clara Young Date June 26, 2023 When they say “Kiss the ring,” it’s not a wedding band they’re talking about. Neither is it an engagement, purity, mourning, adultery, poison-concealing squirt or any of the many other kinds of signifying rings that proliferated from the Middle Ages through to the Victorian era. No, the ring that lackeys press their lips to in obeisance is always a signet, or seal, ring — “signet” comes from the Latin word for “sign,” as in sign…

Well, Paramount+ went there. The streaming service on Friday canceled a wave of original series, and there are some shockers. Before we dig into the cancellations, the canceled shows will be removed from its platform as the company takes a content write-down. The news isn’t too surprising. HBO Max opened the floodgates for the likes of Showtime and Starz to pull shows off the air and their platforms. In fact, some shows didn’t even see the light of day. It’s a precedent that is a stark reminder of how media companies are set up nowadays. We’ll begin with Grease: Rise…
Black truffles (left) and winter truffles look nearly identical but fetch very different prices. A new study shows that many truffle farmers are unintentionally harvesting winter truffles instead of the more valuable black truffles. Credit: Benjamin Lemmond Some truffle producers in the eastern U.S. intending to grow European black truffles (Tuber melanosporum) are also accidentally cultivating winter truffles (Tuber brumale), a related species that looks nearly identical but sells at a lower price, according to a new study from truffle researchers at the University of Florida and Michigan State University. The findings are published in the journal Mycorrhiza. In the…

Coco Jones’s abs were her best accessory at the BET Awards. On June 25, the 25-year-old actor and singer arrived on the pink carpet in a red LaQuan Smith gown with a stomach-baring ab window. The off-the-shoulder cutout design included an open back with a thin knotted neckline that also showed off a little underboob. As Jones walked the carpet before her performance, the sequins covering her dress caught the light perfectly, helping her shine even brighter. She posed to reveal more of the body-contouring silhouette, as well as the subtle leg slit hidden in the back. Jones kept the…
Android 13 has already rolled out to eligible Google Pixel smartphones. But there’s more news for everyone who has either received or is about to receive the milestone update. While the audio output switcher has been present on Android smartphones for a while, Google has been spotted working on adding cast devices to the menu, letting users swap playback between all types of devices and not just those connected and paired via Bluetooth. A demo of the audio playback on an Android 13 device switching between devices or multiple cast devices also details how the feature could work when it…
Breaking Bad co-stars (and real-life friends) Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are guesting on tonight’s episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and FXX has shared an advance look at their awkward interaction with Mac (Rob McElhenney) and Dennis (Glen Howerton).

Cooking shows like Chef’s Table, Nailed It!, Is It Cake?, and Iron Chef: Quest For an Iron Legend have become a big part of Netflix’s television library. And who doesn’t love a cooking show? They’re light, they’re entertaining, and they require very little mental exertion so they’re perfect to watch after a long day of work. (I am not saying this to be insulting; they’re my main go-to after a long day of work myself.)There’s really just one problem with cooking shows: You watch people create all this amazing food, but then you can’t eat it. I would guess that is part of the impetus behind…
The Below Deck franchise is about to celebrate its 10th birthday on Bravo. When the series sailed onto our screens in 2013, the idea that I’d still be invested a decade later didn’t float. The year is 2023, and any quasi-successful series has countless spinoffs, but it’s rare for a spinoff to outshine the original. Enter Below Deck: Sailing Yacht, the dark horse of the franchise. When the show kicked off in 2020, it was an utter disaster, with many believing it wouldn’t survive into a second season. Thanks to more people at home due to COVID-19, the show garnered…
Animals using the most of efficient methods of searching for resources may well pay with their lives, scientists at the University of Bristol have discovered. The findings, published today in Behavioural Ecology, reveal why animals may not always use a searching strategy that maximises results. How animals move through their habitat, particularly in search for food, is a major question in biology, and has application in how animals will respond to environmental change. Numerous studies have demonstrated that a special kind of movement, known as Lévy motion, increases the ability to find resources because it includes long-distance moves between areas…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Vengefully Yours? This is a collection of stories spanning several years’ worth of work. I started out thinking that I could provide a variety of works short enough to enjoy while on a quick break or waiting for kiddos (which is why there’s an audiobook coming soon!) – in the romantic mystery/suspense genre. And then as I tried to arrange it into some order…I realized that each one represents a “beat” in a story of two people drawn together by fate, made for each other in a way. But…
On Friday night, Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny took themselves on a date to the Lakers playoff game against the Golden State Warriors in Los Angeles. The new couple were sitting court side with some friends taking in the event in a celeb-studded audience. Attendees included Jack Harlow, Jack Nicholson, Michael B. Jordan, and Leonardo DiCaprio. The Lakers won against the Warriors, 122 to 101. The pair were clearly enjoying themselves and being playfully affectionate in their seats. Jenner was wearing a white cropped tank top and a tan and brown mini-skirt, with a pair of knee-high heeled boots in…
Apple is working on a dock for the iPad that would allow the device to function as a smart display and speaker according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The company reportedly plans to introduce the capability as soon as next year, converting the iPad into a device that resembles a smart display, that you can set atop a counter or nightstand. Meanwhile, Apple will launch a new iPad Pro model powered by the new M2 chip that is also found on the company’s latest MacBook Air models that made their debut earlier this year. In his weekly Power On newsletter, Gurman says that Apple has worked…
Beavis and Butt-Head are on trial in the upcoming Season 2 finale of their Paramount+ revival, and Mike Judge rounded up the likes of Mr. Van Driessen, Coach Buzzcut, and, most importantly, Daria (!) to decide their fate. Watch a preview clip of the episode below.
