As it says, the newspeople are now telling us that light has indeed been stopped, albeit for 10-20 microseconds, though this is huge for a thing that travels 186,000 miles a second. This power, they say, might be useful in the future for making quantum computers, which would make your brand-spanking new Mac seem like a relic of the past. The idea is that we could use the light particles, photons, to store and process data, making new computers much smaller and at least ten times faster than our computers today.
What next?
