Light-concentration effects in photonic nanostructures promise new applications ranging from tumour therapy to catalysis and enhanced solar cells. In this focus we look at how the design of light matter-interactions, for example via plasmonic effects, can be used as an efficient means to control light on the nanoscale, towards the realisation of these applications.
