A stream of superfluid light

June 5, 2017

Montreal - Scientists have known for centuries that light is composed of waves. The fact that light can also behave as a liquid, rippling and spiraling around obstacles like the current of a river, is a much more recent finding that is still a subject of active research. The “liquid” properties of light emerge under special circumstances, when the photons that form the light wave are able to interact with each other.
