Research into strong light-matter interactions continues to fascinate, being spurred on by unforeseen and often spectacular experimental observations. Properties that were considered to depend exclusively on material composition have been found to be drastically altered when a material is placed inside a resonant optical cavity. This is nowhere more the case than in the field of intermolecular energy transfer, where polaritonic states formed as a result of strong light-matter interactions have been shown to promote energy transfer over distances vastly exceeding conventional limits.
