“IBM Slows Light,” not your typical headline and not something I had thought was possible, I mean I know about refraction and how light travels at different speeds through certain substances, but I hadn’t give this subject much thought before. Though this has been done before, IBM is reportedly the first company to do this by using standard materials. This could be a huge breakthrough for future hardware, companies creating components that require far less energy to run than in computers today; further paving the way for optical based CPUs.
