Scientists drag light by slowing it to speed of sound
Not really sure if this has been posted here but I found this very cool. Basically they slowed a green laser by shining it through a ruby rod spun at up to 3000 rpm, causing the light to slow to the speed of sound they say and redirecting the image at an angle up to 5 degrees. The suggested real world applications sound pretty promising to me.
