Slow light

Slow light is a bit like a super slow-moving wave. When light moves super slowly, it can actually stay in one place for a while. Think of it like a surfer on the beach - some waves move quickly and crash quickly and other waves move slowly and can hang out for a bit. Slow light moves like the slow wave and it can actually be directed and controlled to do different things. Scientists can use slow light to make a kind of super long tunnel that the light can move through so they can study it better.
