Light Sabers Anyone?

First, you start with a Graflex flash handle....

Here a neat article from Phys.org on a new form of light/matter that scientist have just created that just might make light sabers possible.

The article discusses the work by Harvard Professor of Physics Mikhail Lukin and MIT Professor of Physics Vladan Vuletic to coax photons into binding together to form  a state of matter that, until recently, had been purely theoretical.
