New paper alert! we take a free-standing silicon membrane that is 100 times thinner than your hair and drill holes into it where light gets trapped!!! When we put molecules inside the holes, the photons and the molecules start having a fun party 🤡 🕺

Trapping light in air with membrane metasurfaces for vibrational strong coupling - Nature Communications
The authors introduce a mid-IR metasurface fabricated by decorating a free-standing Si-membrane with air holes. The enhanced light-matter interactions in such air cavities enable vibrational strong co...
