Indian physicists trap light in a fluid, releasing it at their will

According to the Royal Society of Chemistry and Chemistry World, researchers in India have found a fluid that, when bombarded with a specific magnetic field, is able to hold light until the magnetic field is released, when a burst of protons can be seen escaping all at once.

Though they weren't trying to capture light in the fluid that they created, researchers are hoping that this will greatly improve light-based computing in the near future.
