Metal structures that resonate with electromagnetic waves and molecules or materials offer many interesting possibilities both in terms of fundamental science and applications. To illustrate this, we will focus on molecule - metal interactions and the role of surface plasmons. The possibility of coupling molecules to electromagnetic vacuum fluctuations which leads to hybrid light-matter states having strongly modified energies will be presented together with the important implications for molecular and material science.
