Moiré-Polaritons in a Dark Bose-Einstein Condensate
Quantum mixtures of moiré excitons have arisen as a platform for realizing novel phases of light and matter. Here, we study moiré polaritons coupled to a Bose-Einstein condensate of dark-state excitons confined to a moiré superlattice. We develop a variational approach to analyze the optical response of the system and demonstrate that strong exciton-exciton interactions significantly modify the character of moiré polaritons, leading to sizable energy shifts of the avoided crossing between t…

China’s president, Xi Jinping, has reportedly told his generals to be ready by 2027 to conquer the self-governing island of Taiwan,
which he regards as stolen sovereign territory.
US officials warned last week that China already has sufficient capability to invade now,
with amphibious landing craft,
D-day-style floating docks, paratroopers and expanded air combat and missile forces in a constant state of readiness.
Recent intimidating offshore military exercises…

Trump doesn’t know how to deal with China. His cowardice only makes a war with Taiwan more likely
The US president’s strange mix of weakness and anti-Beijing hostility may be pushing Xi Jinping towards a fateful decision, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall
