Ultracold polar molecules are a promising platform for the exploration of exotic quantum matter, including topological dipolar p-wave superfluids, thanks to their long-range dipolar interactions. In this talk, we will present our work on microwave-dressing of fermionic 23Na40K molecules. Using a single, circularly-polarized, blue-detuned microwave field we can engineer intermolecular potential, where inelastic and elastic scattering tuneable via field-linked scattering resonance. This resonance is universal for systems with dipolar interactions and arises due to existence of a stable tetratomic bound state which we recently observed and characterized in our experiment. Adding a second, linearly polarized microwave field at a different frequency enables control of the long-range dipolar interaction by tuning the dipole-dipole scattering length. This improves our toolbox for creating ultracold, deeply-degenerate samples of dipolar fermionic molecules, necessary in our quest towards realizing a dipolar p-wave superfluid and beneficial for quantum simulations in optical lattices.
