And how will this &#8220;liquid light&#8221; behave? Condensed light is an example of a Bose-Einstein condensate: The theory has been there for 100 years, but University of Twente researchers have now demonstrated the effect even at room temperature. For this, they created a micro-size mirror with channels in which photons actually flow like a liquid. In these channels, the photons try to stay together as group by choosing the path that leads to the lowest losses, and thus, in a way, demonstrate &#8220;social behavior.&#8221; The results are published in Nature Communications.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-10-liquid-social-behaviour.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">&#8216;Liquid&#8217; light shows social behaviour<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Could photons, light particles, really condense?
