Strong light-matter interactions in hybrid polaritonic systems

Ben Johns, Andrea Schirato, Federico Toffoletti +13

Strong light-matter coupling gives rise to polaritons - hybrid excitations whose mixed photonic and matter character enables control over optical, electronic and chemical propertie…

Unveiling the Molecular Driving Forces of Pollutant Extraction by Hydrophobic Eutectic Solvents

S. Gomez, U. Ali, A. Muroni +3

Hydrophobic eutectic solvents (HES) are emerging as sustainable alternatives to conventional organic solvents for the extraction of molecular pollutants from water. Yet, their sele…

Beyond the Quantum Picture: The Electrodynamic Origin of Chiral Nanoplasmonics

Vasil Saroka, Lorenzo Cupellini, Nicolò Maccaferri +2

Chiral plasmonic nanostructures are rapidly emerging as ideal substrates for enantioselective sensing, chiral near-field engineering, and plasmon-assisted catalysis, owing to their…
