TL;DR: The reactivity of a compound bearing two possible silyl bond cleavage sites is studied as a function of VSC of three distinct vibrational modes in the dark, showing that VSC can indeed tilt the reactivity landscape to favor one product over the other.

TL;DR: The findings show that vibrational strong coupling provides a powerful approach for modifying and controlling chemical landscapes and for understanding reaction mechanisms.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of sensitivity-enhancement techniques for surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors focusing both on the physical transduction mechanisms and the system performance is presented.

TL;DR: It is shown that molecular vibrational modes of the electronic ground state can also be coherently coupled with a microcavity mode at room temperature, given the low vibrational thermal occupation factors associated with molecular vibrations, and the collective coupling of a large ensemble of molecules immersed within the cavity-mode volume enables the enhancement of the collective Rabi-exchange rate with respect to the single-oscillator coupling strength.

TL;DR: In this paper, an algorithm for calculating the electromagnetic field distribution in multilayer structure is developed relying on Abeles matrices method for wave propagation in isotropic stratified media.
