Here, the authors demonstrate strong coupling between collective, terahertz inter-molecular vibrations of organic materials and a Fabry-Pérot cavity. These results extend the applicability of polaritonic chemistry to large-scale organic systems, such as biological macromolecules and polymer chains.
