Using the same apparatus, which contains a cloud of ultra-cold sodium atoms, they have even managed to freeze light altogether. Professor Hau says this could have applications in memory storage for a future generation of optical computers.
Just when you thought you had the world figured out, they go and pull this. The theoretical limits of silicon based computers will peak in the next 40 years. Optical computer processing speeds start at the highest end silicon based speeds, what does it all mean? Smaller, ultra fast computers…perfect for gaming!
