Researchers illuminate the hidden properties of light By Euan McKirdy, CNN Updated 0715 GMT (1515 HKT) May 18, 2016 Story highlights "We thought it was impossible for a photon to send you halfway round," scientist Paul Eastham says Light, it seems, doesn't necessarily conform to the rules we thought it did (CNN)When it comes to understanding light, it turns out we're more in the dark than we thought. Researchers in Ireland have reported that they discovered a "new form" of light, and, in a press release, say that their discovery "will impact our understanding of the fundamental nature of light." The discovery was published in the scientific journal "Science Advances." The recent discovery by physicists at Ireland's Trinity College Dublin could alter our established thinking of how a key aspect of light -- its angular momentum -- is understood. Angular momentum is a measurement of how something rotates around its own axis , which light is known to do. Essentially, as photons -- tiny particles of light -- travel through space, they twist and turn around their axes. Previously it was thought that light's angular momentum was a constant, but the team at Trinity discovered that under certain conditions, it only spins around its axis half as much as it should. Light, it seems, doesn't necessarily conform to the rules we thought it did. This could mean big things, the researchers say. "It's a bit like a tiny, light merry-go-round at a playground. It goes round and round, which is more or less they way people understood light to work. We thought it was impossible for a photon to send you halfway round, but it turns out, it's not," lead researcher Paul Eastham told CNN. "What I think is so exciting about this result is that even this fundamental property of light, that physicists have always thought was fixed, can be changed," he said. "But this science is in a very early stage -- the next stage is to work out the consequences, how this could be used in everyday life," Eastham said. Eastham suggested that the discovery could have implications for telecommunications and privacy. The nature of these newly found photons are by nature harder to crack, meaning they could deliver data without such a high threat of a third party snooping. It could be used in fiber-optic cables to improve speed and security.

Director of CRANN Stefano Sanvito called the work "fundamental scientific research that challenges our understanding of light. "The topic of light has always been one of interest to physicists, while also being documented as one of the areas of physics that is best understood. This discovery is a breakthrough for the world of physics and science alike."

"這有點像超小的旋轉木馬。它一直轉一直轉，讓人們或多或少瞭解光是如何運作的。 我們認為光子只轉一半是不可能的，但結果，它就是發生了。"主要研究員Paul Eastham 在CNN說道。 "這個光性質的結果真的是令人太興奮了，物理學家們以為的既定事實是可以被改變的。" 他說。 "但這項研究還是在非常早期的階段，下一步是實踐這份結果，要怎麼將其應用在我們的 日常生活。"Eastham說道。 Eastham認為這個發現可以對通訊和隱私科技有所幫助。這些新發現的光子性質本質上是 難以被破解的，代表說資料傳輸時可能不會再受到第三方監聽的威脅了。也可能用在改善 光纖纜線的速度及安全性。 ========================================================== 大概就醬 其實也沒說什麼內容 有物理性的能解釋下嗎? 4.完整新聞連結 (或短網址): ※ 當新聞連結過長時，需提供短網址方便網友點擊 http://goo.gl/rSsaUO 5.備註: ※ 一個人一天只能張貼一則新聞，被刪或自刪也算額度內，超貼者水桶，請注意 光子在某種狀況下，角動量只會繞軸轉一半 <--重點部分的翻譯 跨攏謀 有人能解釋一下嗎? 話說發現隱藏屬性 GM會不會抓啊? -- 不要因為有配著偉人照片，就隨便相信網路上流傳的名言佳句。──胡適 不要相信胡適。──愛因斯坦 --
