Physicists say they have brought light to a complete halt for a fraction of a second and then sent it on its way, an achievement that could someday help scientists develop powerful new computers.

Do we really need faster means of Freeping?

They can have an annual 'stop light in its tracks' award. Maybe some day they will find light's tracks.

A prolific inventor friend of mine is doing some way interesting things with light and data storage these days. Fascinating, really.

I though the same thing and was going to take it out of the title. Could it possibly be a measuerement for a unit of time, as in a pico second? Not sure either. Could also just be a truncated word.

If it does, I'd like to use it in the near future.
