The finding that a single layer of atoms modifies properties of light and other electromagnetic radiation has implications for controlling light at subwavelength scales in photonic devices such as LEDs and photovoltaic cells. (sciencedaily.com)
But so far, Wade explains, photonic devices used in chip - to - chip communication have been primarily custom - built using specialized methods, limiting their commercial applicability. (sciencedaily.com)
The phenomenon could someday be used to build microscopic crystalline components for photonic devices, researchers say. (newscientist.com)
