  1. yeah but there are so many things we could do with nuclear waste, a few months ago Physicists and chemists from the University of Bristol have found a way to convert nuclear waste into a synthetic diamond which could generate a small electrical current for longer times even longer than the whole history of human civilization.

  2. E=mcbecomes m=E/c2

    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 theorized, some researchers reckon they're going to be able to do it - and they're about to start the experiment.

    It's called the Breit-Wheeler process, and it all has to do with E=mc2.

    The process was first described in 1934, by a pair of physicists named Gregory Breit and John A. Wheeler, in the journal Physical Review.

    In their paper, Breit and Wheeler proposed that, if you smashed two photons - particles of light - together, the collision would result in a positron and an electron. You would have created matter out of light.

    We're eagerly awaiting the results. In the meantime, you can read more about the experiment in the team's 2014 paper, published in the journal Nature Photonics.
