Polaritons Could Replace Phonons To Better Disperse Heat in the New Generation of Semiconductors
Researchers are focused on opening a new nanoscale lane on the heat transfer highway by using hybrid quasiparticles called “polaritons", as photons can't remove enough heat at the nanoscale of today’s most cutting-edge semiconductors.
