Ebrahim I et al. i [3] investigate the temporal dynamics in strongly coupled ENZ plasmonic systems, illustrating the dynamics of field enhancement processes and highlighting the impact of dissipation loss. Beruete I et al. i [14] demonstrate experimentally the unusual waveguiding features of zero-permittivity structures with applications for enhanced sensing, and in parallel, Nicolussi I et al. i [15] discuss unusual unidirectional transparency in waveguides featuring zero-permittivity materials obeying parity-time symmetry. Zero-index metamaterials (photonic materials and artificial media with a near-zero refractive index in different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum) make possible novel forms of light-matter interactions where light behaves in a qualitatively different way than in conventional materials.
