Photons Frozen in Time by Innovative Crystal Designs


AMOLF researchers, in collaboration with Delft University of Technology, succeeded in bringing light waves to a halt by deforming the two-dimensional photonic crystal that contains them. The researchers showed that even a subtle deformation can have a substantial effect on photons in the crystal. Th
