Graphene-boron nitride heterostructures propagate light at the nanoscale

A new study exploits near-field microscopy to image propagating plasmons in high-quality graphene encapsulated between two films of hexagonal ?boron nitride. It finds unprecedentedly low plasmon damping combined with strong field confinement and confirms the high uniformity of this plasmonic medium.
