STOP LIGHT
ANU researchers have used a groundbreaking approach to set a world record for stopping light ? a crucial step in the development of the next generation of computers.
Researchers from the Laser Physics Centre in the Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering used a modified crystal to ‘stop’ light for over a second, more than 1000 times longer than earlier attempts.
