Plasmonics & Metamaterials explore how light interacts with nanostructured materials, enabling breakthroughs in imaging, telecommunications, and energy harvesting.
Plasmonics is the study of electromagnetic waves known as plasmons that travel along the interface of metals and dielectrics. These waves enhance light-matter interaction at the nanoscale, allowing for applications in biosensing, photodetection, and optical computing.
Metamaterials are artificial materials engineered to manipulate electromagnetic waves in ways not found in nature. They exhibit negative refractive indices and enable applications such as invisibility cloaks, superlenses, and next-gen antennas.
