Collisions of Light Produce Matter/Antimatter

Scientists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science user facility for nuclear physics research at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory—have produced definitive evidence for two physics phenomena predicted more than 80 years ago. The primary finding is that pairs of electrons and positrons—particles of matter and antimatter—can be created directly by colliding very energetic photons, which are quantum “packets” of light.

Grow Your Own Lighting

After yesterday’s post about rechargeable light-emitting plants, I was reminded of this fun crystal ball piece I wrote for a 2004 issue of Rexel’s POWER OUTLET. Written as a firmly tongue-in-cheek future history, it predicts LED eliminating traditional lighting, botanescent lighting eliminating LED, and then yet another future technology coming along. I hope you have fun with it.
