Scientists find a way to create the matter of light

Scientists have long theorized, need to think about a material of light that create collision of photons, but proves that the theory the right of particles, also try a different story was you. However, it seems that this impossible dream is even close to reality. Researchers at Imperial College London, a technology have discovered that should produce electrons and positrons by collision of two series of high-energy photons. To create the first part of the photons, you need to first jump electrons with a laser and then shoot them with a piece of gold; They produce the other parts by pulling a laser in a small box, or produces a field of the heat radiation. When you collide two sources of photons in the penalty area, see electrons and positrons spread outside.

Although it seems like it could be more complex, it is easier than you think. The photon-photon Collider would equipment that already exists, and the team is in discussions with others who can easily experience. That is at best still distant, a Replicator from Star Trek-like - this collision will create atoms, and even fewer solid objects. Even if the research is not finally fulfill our fantasies of science fiction, could however still astrophysicist for by newly created the conditions of the first 100 seconds after the big bang.
