"Harvard Professor of Physics Mikhail Lukin and MIT Professor of Physics Vladan Vuletic have managed to coax photons into binding together to form molecules – a state of matter that, until recently, had been purely theoretical. The work is described in a September 25 paper in Nature."

""Photonic molecules," however, behave less like traditional lasers and more like something you might find in science fiction – the light saber."

I just love this articles. They omit all complicated scientific language, so only very fuzzy skeleton remains. Like that not even scientists can make anything out of it.
Well at least it's clear it has something to do with lasers .. I guess :beer:
