A new experiment confirms that photons passing through a cloud of atoms can spend a negative amount of time there, and the atoms themselves are the ones saying so.

It has been known since the 1960s that the quantum statistical properties of light have a role in optical processes 3. For example, when more than one photon is required to ionize an atom, random ...
