A recent study led by Monash University has revealed that light behaves like a liquid. Physicists predicted self-bound “quantum droplets” made of light, an entirely new state of matter within semiconductor microcavities. While droplets and light belong to separate realms in daily life, researchers have shown that light organizes itself into a behavior resembling that of a tiny liquid within a microcavity only billionths of a meter thick.1,2
