Science Trumps the Force to Create a Real-Life Lightsaber Link: Lukin says this new bond between photons could also have practical applications for contemporary chipmakers working to convert light into electric signals. Most mind-blowing of all, he also suggests the breakthrough could one day lead to technologies that allow for the creation of complex 3D structures, like crystals, made out of light. Dude, these Cambridge smarties didn’t just make “Star Wars” real, they’ve brought “TRON” to life at the same time!
