Plasmonics is a subfield of nanophotonics that is concerned primarily with the manipulation of light at the nanoscale, based on the properties of propagating and localized surface plasmons.

The study authors claim their technique is probably the most precise plasmonic wave analysis method developed so far. As part of the study, researchers focused on plasmon polaritons, special waves ...

Plasmons arise when a light wave strikes a metallic surface, prompting the free electrons to oscillate in unison at a resonant frequency. This leads to the creation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs ...

By precisely moving the tip over the sample, the researchers could record a film showing the wave's oscillation at various locations over time. The findings are published in Nano Letters ("Spacetime ...
