A light-matter hybrid material on attosecond scales showcases enhanced conductivity with potential applications in solar cells and high-power electronics.
Science: Light is both a wave and a particle.
Rando: How is that even possible? Could there have been some kind of mista-
S: Light is also matter.
R: This simulation is broken.
Particle means matter. Photons are matter in the same way bosons and quarks are

He’s a pretty picture and some pretty words. Eat it up kids!
Fuck yeah! Go science!
So, something like chlorophylle?

Ah yes, one of those discoveries that will either revolutionize medicine or computing or both, or turn out to be entirely useless.

Power generation mostly. But not in the way they’re saying.

No discovery is useless. Even if it isn’t used now, it could lay the groundwork for more useful discoveries later.
