A thread for science news unrelated to our projects, but cool nonetheless

Read about this some time ago but slightly different..... delaying light if passed thru certain media.... more awesome technology.

Same story, a bit more expanded and colourful, directly from the Harvard Gazette: http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2001/01.24/01-stoplight.html

There's some upheaval in the (maybe envious) scientific world regarding this quantum computing, but only saw one article in none-English which I'd give some credence to questioning the reality of what they say they can.
