Two Scientists Create Novel Form of Matter Similar to Lightsaber

According to a new research by the scientists at the Harvard and MIT, the discovery runs contrary to the nature of the light, which was being followed from so many decades.

Mikhai Lukin, Prof. of Physics at Harvard and Vladan Vuletic, Prof. of Physics at MIT, collectively managed to coax the photons together to form the "Photonic Molecules ", which are less like lasers used earlier.

The two scientists created a state of matter which looks similar to Lightsabers. Their discovery concluded that the Lightsabers are real or can be made real.

Lightsabers are the science fiction weapons used in the `Star Wars' movies and the expanded Universe.

According to the properties of the light, it is made up of photons, which are long being described as mass-less objects and has no interaction between them.

Thus, the two scientists wanted to oppose the theory of photons.

They created a special type of medium, which allows the photons to interact strongly, forming molecules. Thus, proving that the photon contain mass.

Lukin said: "When these photons interact with each other, they're pushing against and deflect each other. The physics of what's happening in these molecules is similar to what we see in the movies".
