Physicist who found a way to trap light wins $1M science prize

Sajeev John, a professor and scientist who developed a way to confine and control light, similar to the way electrons are controlled in electronics, has been awarded Canada's top science prize.

John was named this year's recipient of the $1-million Gerhard Herzberg Canada Gold Medal — the highest honour given out by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) — on Wednesday.

PV's are pretty inefficient.
this could remarkably alter that.

PVs in a can would be nice. Paint the roof and voila, electricity.

yeah, something like that.

there will still be heat loss. but if there is less light loss, that would be a big lift.

I hope that now he's trapped it, it's his job to feed it, water it and take it on walks.
