Storing Photons In a Solid State Device
bondisthebest writes in with a report from IEEE Spectrum: "Physicists in Switzerland, led by Nicolas Gisin of the University of Geneva, reported last week in Nature that they have made a solid-state device capable of storing photons for as long as 1 microsecond. The invention will aid in the development of light-based quantum-cryptography networks, which are theoretically impervious to hacking but are currently limited in range to a few dozen kilometers, primarily because of a lack of a suitable way to store the quantum state of photons."
From TFA: What they did was "find a way to trap a photon in a collection of 10 million neodymium atoms embedded in an yttrium orthovanadate crystal". Now say that 10 times fast. :-)

So what do I win? :D
I just took a shit. Literally. I'm at the library, using the computers. As I go to take a piss, a girl stepped out of the unisex bathroom. She was hot. Eat-the-peanuts-out-of-her-shit hot. Stepping into the bathroom, I inhaled the scent of her perfume and faint traces of pussy. Lifting the lid on the toilet, I discovered a fat turd floating in the bowl. Suffice to say, I ate more than just the peanuts out of her shit!
