The work 'Hyperbolic phonon-polariton electroluminescence in 2D heterostructures', led by researchers at the US Advanced ...

A new study shows that coupling thermal energy into hyperbolic phonon-polariton modes in hexagonal boron nitride ...

Newly published research demonstrates a novel way of generating phonon-polaritons by making electrons collide with crystal lattice structures. The discovery paves the way for cheaper, smaller ...

By analysing the relationship between polaritons and disorder, researchers have redefined what conditions are necessary for ...

Scientists have developed a model that predicts a massive boost in OLED brightness using polaritons—hybrid light-matter ...

Metals, as most know them, are good conductors of electricity. That's because the countless electrons in a metal like gold or ...

The electrical signals used for wireless communications, for example, can’t just be shoved into the fiber-optic ...

These phonon-polariton waves exhibit several unique characteristics. For example, they can concentrate the energy of long-wavelength infrared light into extremely small volumes, even down to tens ...

To go further: What is a polariton? A polariton is a hybrid quasi-particle resulting from the interaction between light and matter. It forms when photons, the particles of light, couple with excitons, ...

A nanoscale modulator has broken the terahertz mark. The ultrafast component efficiently transmits large volumes of data into the fibre-optic network in a short space of time.
