1/ Mirrors are usually made out of metals, which don't allow electric field inside their bulk and therefore reflect light. But can you make a mirror out of transparent materials? It turns out that you can, and the physics of "transparent mirrors" has an analog in graphene.

Some good news for Christmas. My first paper is published in Physical Review Research. journals.aps.org/prresearch/abs…
