German scientists create 'super-photon'

Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift:

Scientists in Germany have disproven assumptions that creating a "super-photon" was impossible, by finding a solution with a comparatively simple experiment.

A group of scientists at the University of Bonn published findings last week in the journal, Nature, that they'd discovered a new type of light. This study countered many assumptions held by scientific community, who'd thought that creating such a particle would be impossible.
