Our work on Fizeau drag in graphene plasmons
Our work on Fizeau drag in graphene plasmons is published on Nature with a News and Views article. See Columbia News story. Plasmon polaritons can be dragged by current flow to break the time-reversal symmetry, a finding that could lead to more efficient ways of manipulating light at the nanoscale.
