most of the article went right over my head, i wish i was smarter to actually understand it to the level the author intended. but its truely amazing and changes our ideas of whats possible and whats not. the article is about slowing light pulses to a halt. which can mean new methods of quantum computing, communications, or making blackholes in the lab.

another instresting part in that article, is the technology they used to make an opaque material as transperant as glass using a tuned laser beam.
