Researchers Successfully Image Quasiparticles that Could Lead to Faster Electrical Circuits

A Research group, headed by Zhe Fei from Iowa State University, has captured the first images of half-light, half-matter quasiparticles known as exciton-polaritons. This latest discovery could lead to the development of faster nanophotonic circuits than present-generation of electrical circuits. The study has been reported in the scientific journal, Nature Photonics.
