To explore what they could do with their nanopatterned samples, the engineering team teamed up with physicist Dmitri Basov's lab, which specializes in creating and controlling nano-optical effects in different 2D materials -- including creating phonon-polaritons in hBN.

Mata Pereda owns a company that manages at least two of Basov’s firms, corporate records show.

OGX was founded in March and is managed by a Russian entrepreneur, Sergei Basov, the records showed.

Russian corporate records show Basov owns a 1% stake in OGX, with the remaining 99% owned by a Dubai-based company, Marlybone Trading DWC-LLC.

Basov said in a phone conversation that OGX Trading planned to enter the food business but had not managed to start during the pandemic.
