Photons, the basic units of light, are neutral -- they have no charge, so they usually do not respond to electric fields. Instead, light may be controlled by tuning the refractive index of materials.

While it would take about 50 billion bees to light one LED light, they can actually increase the background atmospheric electric field two to 10 fold, which Hunting called a “big surprise.

By determining the characteristics of coherent light fields, researchers can learn much about how light interacts with matter, and how it can be better manipulated on the shortest timescales. For ...
