  • Hexagonal boron nitride nanostructures are shown to sustain phonon–polariton modes with comparable performances to plasmon–polariton modes in graphene but with lower losses.

  • Here the authors demonstrate the active control of an all-optical switch harnessing the interaction of light with the constituent materials. The response speeds up by two orders of magnitude and scales accordingly with the strength of the light matter interaction.

  • Heat-assisted detection and ranging is experimentally shown to see texture and depth through darkness as if it were day, and also perceives decluttered physical attributes beyond RGB or thermal vision.

  • Miniaturization of optical components could give way to dense photonic-integrated circuits. Here, the authors demonstrate the control of evanescent waves using all-dielectric metamaterials and show that they can reduce cross-talk and bending loss, which limit the integration density in photonic circuits.

  • Experimental studies of the Casimir effect have involved only interactions between two bodies so far. Here, the authors observe a micrometer-thick cantilever under the Casimir force exerted by microspheres from two sides simultaneously.

  • Dipole-dipole interactions give rise to a number of physical phenomena, but they are typically limited to the Coulombic near-field. Here authors demonstrate the existence of a class of real- and virtual-photon interactions which have a singularity in media with hyperbolic dispersion.

  • Graphene is the archetype for realizing two-dimensional topological phases of matter. Here, the authors introduce a new topological classification connected to polarization transport, where the topological number is revealed in the spatiotemporal dispersion of the susceptibility tensor.

  • Quantum fluctuation in a vacuum can induce a measurable force between neutral objects in close vicinity. By dynamically modulating a system of two micromechanical oscillators near an exceptional point in the parameter space, this so-called Casimir effect can induce a non-reciprocal, diode-like energy transfer.

  • Twisted light beams allow unique control of light-matter interaction, but classical models cannot describe this phenomenon at the single-photon level. Here, the quantum state of structured photons is derived instead from quantum field theory which captures the quantum uncertainty in its angular momentum and the non-local photonic spin density correlation.
