![A laser creates pairs of positive and negative charges bound together (large blue and red spheres) in a device made of three atomically thin layers (sheets of metallic red and green spheres). The charge pairs change the properties of the laser beam (red).](/-/media/bes/images/highlights/2024/Zhou-Highlight.png?h=508&w=553&la=en&hash=400DA64A11E44604A3BD91CFAF600636321B67FDD1570C7E1345474849C8D69F)
