Light in the newly discovered “solid” form.

@BrianRoemmele Princeton physicists created 'solid light' in 2023 by binding photons together using Rydberg atoms - a state of matter predicted by Chiao in 1967.

Bet it’s gonna spark some wild innovations we can’t even dream up yet!

Wow that's insane bruh

🤔

light sabers and guns are next I suppose....

Thats a motion tracked projector in a fish tank

What can it be used for? Other than storing a stack of solid lights to use later? 🙃

Very cool, but structured light would be extremely inefficient for most practical uses, you wouldn’t want to rely on a photon based solid. The amount of photons you would need for something like a chair is almost beyond comprehension. Still, it would be awesome to get that far.
