Graphene–gold metasurface architectures that can provide significant gains in plasmonic detection sensitivity for trace‐amount target analytes are reported. Benefiting from extreme phase singularities of reflected light induced by strong plasmon‐mediated energy confinements, the metasurface demonstr...
