A bound state in the continuum (BIC) is a symmetry-protected topological state that, despite lying in the continuum radiation spectrum of a system, is unable to radiate in the far field. When supported by a photonic crystal, it is characterized by a supposedly infinite lifetime and a remarkable ability to enhance non-linear effects. Now, researchers in Italy, the US and France have utilized these properties to demonstrate polariton Bose-Einstein condensation in a planar waveguide in which semico
