The authors Harry A. Atwater and Albert Polman discuss the application of plasmonics to enhance photovoltaic devices in their review article published in *Nature Materials*. They highlight the potential of plasmonic techniques to improve the efficiency and performance of solar cells by leveraging the unique properties of plasmons, which are collective electron oscillations in materials. The article also includes a correction to a figure in the original publication, where a graph labeled '2-μm-thick Si wafer' was mistakenly shown for a 10-μm-thick Si wafer. The corrected figure is provided in the HTML and PDF versions of the review.The authors Harry A.
