Liquid Light

Link

Scientists have figured out how to create a jet of liquid with nothing but the power of light.

They shined a laser beam through a soapy liquid, producing a long jet that eventually broke up into droplets.

“I thought this was just so weird because I know when liquid is supposed to break up, and this one isn’t doing it,” said study team member Wendy Zhang, an assistant professor in physics at the University of Chicago.
