"polaritons: hybrid quasiparticles formed when light couples intensely with matter... light manipulations: travels along specific paths, bends in direction opposite of typical when passing between materials, guided in straight line without dispersing... faster, smaller integrated optical circuit computing components, super-resolution imaging of objects smaller than traditional light limits, biosensors for highly sensitive biological molecule detection. thermal management of heat into/ dissipated from electronics"
