Podcast Pick of the Day - Science Friday

Science Friday
Stopping Light
Run Time: 16:31

Hosted by Ira Flatow, Science Friday is a weekly talk show focusing on the latest developments in science. This episode featured stopping light - yes, stopping light. The scientist describes how the research team was able to physically stop light in atoms barely above 0 Kelvin (near absolute zero). The possibilities of being able to harness light in such a manner seem endless, including paving the way to optical processors in computers. Enjoy.
