Physicists Are About to Attempt The 'Impossible' - Turning Light Into Matter

https://www.sciencealert.com/light-into-matter-breit-wheeler-process-hohlraum-experiment-start-2018

Theoretically, it should be possible to turn light into matter. In practice, well - "easier said than done" is an understatement.

Now, 84 years after the process was first theorised, some researchers reckon they're going to be able to do it - and they're about to start the experiment.

-- This would be amazing and really cool. Could this be a new energy source? We could beam energy to far off places.![magic.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPt6TJuMjYsTS7EdH1wFsqppw4wBvxa5EwkDwysFZjTFa/magic.jpg)
