Ted Sarandos and Guillermo del Toro Unveil Stop-Motion Studio Plans
Guillermo del Toro and Netflix boss Ted Sarandos have unveiled plans for a stop-motion studio which will be built at France's Gobelins school.

“A returns deal with France that makes access to safety in the UK — even for those with close family or connections here — dependent on someone else risking their life to cross the Channel only cements the role of smugglers in how people fleeing war and persecution must seek asylum in the UK."

Continuous-wave, high-resolution, ultra-broadband mid-infrared nonlinear spectroscopy with tunable plasmonic nanocavities
Vibrational sum- and difference-frequency generation (SFG and DFG) spectroscopy is a technique to probe the nonlinear response of interfaces at mid-infrared wavelengths while detecting the upconverted signal at visible wavelengths. It has recently transitioned from large-area molecular films and colloidal suspensions to nanoscale structures, enabled by dual-resonant plasmonic nanocavities that confine light and matter in the same deep-subwavelength sensing volume. Here, we implement continuous-…
