Crystal Stops Light in Its Tracks

OPTICSFor years, physicists have been slowing light down to a crawl, and even stopping it in its tracks, by shooting laser beams into cold gases known as Bose-Einstein condensates. Now, researchers have done the same thing in a much less exotic solid. The advance may one day lead to memory devices for computers that store information on beams of light.
