In a World-First, Scientists Have Achieved ‘Liquid Light’ at Room Temperature

For the first time, physicists have achieved ‘liquid light’ at room temperature, making this strange form of matter more accessible than ever.

This matter is both a superfluid, which has zero friction and viscosity, and a kind of Bose-Einstein condensate – sometimes described as the fifth state of matter – and it allows light to actually flow around objects and corners.

Xmas decorations outside could get really funky.

A whole inside wall could become a water fall of light, running all over the floor and outside.

Could make for an interesting telescope design.

A Bose-Einstein Condensate at room temperature – wicked.
