520			_aTHE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT -- "Physicists are learning to perform extraordinary tricks with light. It used to be something that one could perhaps use or maybe channel, but not necessarily control. Yet light is losing its independence and mystique, and becoming just another scientific tool." (WORLD LINK) This article examines the development of revolutionary new applications for light.
520			_aTRAPPING LIGHT -- "To stop light without absorbing it, which destroys it, to trap light while keeping it intact and useful--that is a neat trick. Anybody can stop light by absorbing it; each of us stops trillions of photons a second. The trick is not to kill the photons but to tame them. Once they're in a cage you can find a way to let the light out when you want. You can channel it so that it flows only where you want it to. You can control light the way we already control electrons in microchips, or integrated circuits." (DISCOVER) This article examines how researchers trap and manipulate light and explores applications for this technological advancement.
520			_aFROM SCIENTISTS, A LITTLE LIGHT MUCIC -- "Earlier this year [2001], two groups of scientists reported that they had slowed light to a complete stop and frozen it in place for up to a thousandth of a second, an eternity to a light beam...Researchers are taming light as single photons, snare it, and store it could someday enable them to build computers millions of times faster than today's." (U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT) This article investigates how researchers are manipulating light and speculates on the possibility of creating a quantum computer with this new capability.
