It turns out that the fastest known thing in the universe, light, can in fact be stopped. A German team of scientists have successfully stopped light from traveling for a whole minute. The record-breaking event could be a major breakthrough in the field of quantum memory storage.

I'm still totally fascinated on how light can trap light.
I studied lasers as a special project in high school electronics and have a great respect for them.
