Local control of polarization and geometric phase in thermal metasurfaces.
Article in Nature nanotechnology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Thermal emission from a hot body is inherently challenging to control due to its incoherent nature. Recent advances have shown that patterned surfaces can transform thermal emission into partially coherent beams with tailored directionality and frequency selectivity. Here we experimentally demonstrate polarization-selective, unidirectional and narrowband thermal emission using single-layer metasurfaces. By implementing polarization gradients across the surface, we unveil a generalization of the photonic Rashba effect from circular polarizations to any pair of orthogonal polarizations and apply it to thermal emission. Leveraging pointwise specification of arbitrary elliptical polarization, we implement a thermal geometric phase and leverage it to prove previous theoretical predictions that asymmetric chiral emission is possible without violating reciprocity. This general platform can be extended to other frequency regimes in efforts to compactify metasurface optics technologies without the need for external coherent sources.
