Jones, Agreed, and also other threads we touched upon like whispering gallery, SPP and tungsten arrays.. I kept running into things discussed here as if the article was written by a vortician so felt it deserved some attention. Fran

Another interesting TMDC which they did not mention, but we have alluded to here are few times, as a candidate catalyst for hydrogen densification - is molybdenum disulfide. If this material (the moly) could be induced to lase, we would have the interesting situation of possibly being able to build an etched nanocircuit where the SPP formation was integrated as an actual digital feature of the device.
