In order to better understand the competitiveness of companies and with this their surrounding regions, economic geographers have focused on competencies in manufacturing companies for more than two decades. This paper discusses the development of innovative competencies at plant level. Using subsidiaries of international automotive supply companies in Poland as an example, we analyze and typif...

In this Perspective, we present that polariton modes hosted in two-dimensional (2D) materials can be used to increase and control light–matter interactions at the nanoscale. We analyze optical response of most 2D material nanostructures support plasmon, exciton, phonon modes. Polariton characteristic lengths are assess hybrid different monolayers nanoribbons. nanodisk act like a cavity supports...
