This flat chip uses twisted light to reveal hidden images
Imagine trying to wear a left-handed glove on your right hand: it doesn’t fit because left and right hands are mirror images that can’t be superimposed on each other. This ‘handedness’ is what scientists call chirality, and it plays a fundamental…

Enhancing interlayer exciton dynamics by coupling with monolithic cavities via the field-induced Stark effect
Electrically tunable cavity-coupled IXs
Several TMDC combinations provide type-II alignments with IXs3,6. In our work, we chose MoSe2/WSe2 as an exemplary platform owing to the strength and the low inhomogeneous broadening of its interlayer PL…
