Light Speed but much slower
July 31st, 2009An old story from 2007 still blows my mind. Lets get some artists working with this medium!
Here are a few snippets to get you to read this mind blowing article about Lene Hau’s work:
… slowed light to 38 miles an hour, about the speed of rush-hour traffic.
… brought light to a complete halt in a cloud of ultracold atoms.
… made a light pulse disappear from one cold cloud then retrieved it from another cloud nearby.
