(Nov. 24, 2010) — Physicists from the University of Bonn have developed a completely new source of light, a so-called Bose-Einstein condensate consisting of photons. Until recently, expert had thought this impossible. This method may potentially be suitable for designing novel light sources resembling lasers that work in the x-ray range. Among other applications, they might allow building more powerful computer chips.

You mean it's like light-inna-box? Oh, boy, Mr. Trollface would be proud!

ohhhh boy xrays and computer chips get back to me when something INTERESTING is discovered

Yet according to the equation for Bose-Einstein Condensate critical temperature, this would require division by zero.
