Trapping and Controlling Light at The Interface of Atomically Thin Nanomaterials

Scientists at Cornell University propose a new method to confine light in an atomically thin graphene layer by leveraging topological phenomena that occur at the interface of specially designed nanomaterials. Their method brings together two rapidly advancing fields in applied and fundamental physics: graphene nanolight and topological photonics.
