What if metals could conduct light? - EurekAlert
Conventional metals cannot conduct light in their interiors, but scientists have discovered that in the quantum metal ZrSiSe, electrons can give rise to plasmons. These are collective oscillations in a material that are strong and long lived, and they can combine with photons to form new modes called polaritons that can carry photons along zig-zag paths in the material.
