  text: This study focuses on advancing metascintillators to break the 100 ps barrier
    and approach the 10 ps target. We exploitnanophotonic features, specifically the
    Purcell effect, to shape and enhance the scintillation properties of the first-generation
    metascintillator. We demonstrate that a faster emission is achievable along with
    a more efficient conversionefficiency. This results in a coincidence time resolution
    improved by a factor of 1.3, crucial for TOF-PET applications.
