The field of nanophotonics is more active than ever. This Focus Issue reviews some of the developments stemming from nanophotonics including small dielectric- and metal-based lasers, advances in near-field imaging, metamaterials, and 'flat' 2D nano-optics using emerging material systems such as insulating hexagonal boron nitride and semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides like molybdenum disulphide. Selected content free online for a limited time.   Editorial Top Not so small   p877 doi:10.1038/nphoton.2014.282 'Nanophotonics' is no longer just the realm of plasmonics researchers. Fields like metamaterials and 'flat' two-dimensional systems based on atomically thin materials are expanding the boundaries of nanophotonics.
