An international research team developed an electrically tunable platform comprising a gold-foil bottom electrode and a top graphene mirror, sandwiching sugar molecules in a liquid electrolyte. By changing the size of the cavity and the resonance frequency, the researchers can drive matter-light interactions between organic molecules and terahertz waves.
