Radiative suppression of exciton–exciton annihilation in a two-dimensional semiconductor
Enhancing light-matter interaction in 2D semiconductors coupled to Mie-resonant dielectric nanoantennas leads to the suppression of exciton-exciton annihilation, overcoming a fundamental limit for light emission in atomically thin materials.

Observation of nonlinear disclination states
The formation of solitons of topological origin is observed on disclination cores of pentagonal and heptagonal disclination arrays. Nonlinearity profoundly affects localization of such solitons that form as exceptionally robust objects in topological gap.
