Scientists squeeze light past quantum limit › News in Science (ABC Science) News in Science Monday, 12 September 2011 Stuart GaryABC Tiny ripples The race to discover gravity waves may be getting closer to the finish line with scientists successfully squeezing light using quantum mechanics.
The detection of gravity waves is one of the Holy Grails of astronomy and astrophysics. It will allow researchers to study the inner workings of exploding stars and colliding black holes.

When English physicist William Crookes first discovered plasma in 1879, he did not propose any use for the stuff.
Crookes found that he could make gas behave differently than other forms of matter by stripping electrons from it with electrodes. What we now call plasma is used in arc-welding torches, neon signs and high-end television screens. Lectures - StumbleUpon.
