Strong coupling between cavity photon modes and donor/acceptor molecules can form polaritons (hybrid particles made of a photon strongly coupled to an electric dipole) to facilitate selective vibrational energy transfer ...
Social distancing and lockdown mean that many couples are now spending too much time with each other—and not enough time apart. As couples struggle to provide and care for children, the basic rhythm of everyday life has ...
