This study was born in the height of the COVID-19 epidemic.

Researchers observe sound-light pulses in 2D materia...

"In the months of lockdown, with the universities closed, Yaniv Kurman, a graduate student in Prof. Kaminer's lab, sat at home and made the mathematical calculations predicting how light pulses should behave in 2D materials and how they could be measured."

"Meanwhile, Raphael Dahan, another student in the same lab, realized how to focus infrared pulses into the group's electron microscope and made the necessary upgrades to accomplish that."

"Once the lockdown was over, the group was able to prove Kurman's theory, and even reveal additional phenomena that they had not expected."
