Total lamp width: 1000 mm
Body height (in the outermost rays): approximately ~1210 mm (may vary slightly due to the arrangement of the beams)
Ceiling bowl: Ø180 mm
Suspension
Italian scientists have achieved that light behaves like a super-solid - an exotic state of matter that combines the properties of a solid and a superfluid. That is, light did not
"turn into ice" - it acquired a structure similar to a crystal, while maintaining the ability to flow without friction.
Light was not "stopped" or frozen in a literal sense - it is more of a quantum-photon manifestation, rather than a physical "solid form" of light. The experiment used a semiconductor structure (gallium arsenide with micro-ribs), where a laser pulse was injected.
The polaritons (quasiparticles, a hybrid of light and matter) formed there under certain conditions formed a spatially ordered structure - a state characteristic of a super-solid substance.
