In a World-First, Scientists Have Achieved ‘Liquid Light’ at Room Temperature

in science •  8 years ago 

For the first time, physicists have achieved ‘liquid light’ at room temperature, making this strange form of matter more accessible than ever.

This matter is both a superfluid, which has zero friction and viscosity, and a kind of Bose-Einstein condensate – sometimes described as the fifth state of matter – and it allows light to actually flow around objects and corners.

Regular light behaves like a wave, and sometimes like a particle, always travelling in a straight line. That’s why your eyes can’t see around corners or objects. But under extreme conditions, light can also act like a liquid, and actually flow around objects.

I don't understand. what's the spam element here ?

I am referring to @zohaibkhan
He posts the same blurb all over the place basically begging for follows.
@zeroshiki is a good poster, and this is definitely not close to his first post.
So a welcome to the platform on this post is spam. Correct me if I am wrong.
After I flagged it, they went to another random post of mine and flagged it down.

Welcome to the platform, I wish everything work out for you. It’s not easy here but not difficult neither but just ask an extra effort, engagement is the key good luck I’m @zohaibkhan Start by following people and they will do the same.

What the fuck is with this spam? I am seeing it all over. Flag it?
