Illustration of nanolight pseudo-birefringence. Two-step excitation via a light-illuminated antenna and a sharp boundary efficiently excites higher-order light-matter waves (hyperbolic phonon ...

The ability to modify the intracellular concentrations of divalent calcium ions is vital to normal cell functioning. In the cells of the cardiac muscle, calcium ions play a crucial role in coupling ...

A new two-step excitation technique efficiently generates and separates different modes of hyperbolic polaritons - directional nanoscale light-matter modes with extreme electromagnetic field ...

An international team of researchers has developed a novel technique to efficiently excite and control highly-confined light-matter waves, known as higher-order hyperbolic phonon polaritons. Their ...
