Whispering-gallery wave known as surface plasmons has been demonstrated in the form of whispering-gallery waves, and likewise for exciton-polaritons in semiconductors. Galleries simultaneously containing both acoustic and optical whispering-gallery waves have also been made, exhibiting very strong mode coupling and coherent effects. Hybrid solid-fluid-optical whispering-gallery structures have been observed as well. Whispering-gallery wave Whispering-gallery waves, or whispering-gallery modes, are a type of wave that can travel around a concave surface. Originally discovered for sound waves in the whispering gallery of St Paul’s Cathedral, they can exist for light and for other waves, with important applications in nondestructive testing, lasing, cooling and sensing,
Newport Street Gallery Francis Bacon. Newport Street Gallery The Newport Street Gallery is an art gallery in London, England which displays works selected from the personal art collection of Damien Hirst. It runs the length of Newport Street in Vauxhall. Hirst announced plans for the gallery in March 2012, and it opened in October 2015. It includes a shop, a restaurant, and offices for Hirst's company. The building is a former theatre carpentry and scenery production workshop, redesigned by Caruso St John. The design was praised for its "virtuosity", and in October 2016 it won the RIBA Stirling Prize. The collection includes five
