Strong Coupling in Fully Tunable Microcavities Filled with Biologically Produced Fluorescent Proteins
The versatility of studying polariton phenomena with fluorescent proteins in fully tunable optical microcavities is addressed.
High refractive index hyperbranched polymers
High refractive index (HRI) materials play an important role in optic-electronic devices. They can be widely applied as encapsulating materials to increase external quantum efficiency in OLED devices and to enhance conversion efficiency in solar cell devices....
Flexible Electronic Paper in Color
Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology have shown that so called plasmonic metasurfaces, ultrathin nanostructured solid materials, can be used for reflective color displays if functionalized with conductive polymers.

Light-driven soft robot mimics caterpillar locomotion in natural scale
Scientists have now created a light-driven soft micro robot to mimic caterpillar locomotion in natural scale.
Efficient radiative pumping of polaritons in a strongly coupled microcavity
This analysis demonstrated that the polariton states are most likely formed when the excited dye molecules in the cavity emit a photon, with this photon then directly exciting the photon-like part of the polariton.
