Seoul team shows on-chip control of light speed, but the gap to a real device is wide

Simulations from a Seoul National University team describe a silicon chip that can slow, store and accelerate light on demand. The work is theoretical so far, and the path to a working component will be measured in years, not quarters.

Desk note: this publication framed the Seoul announcement as a design result pending independent fabrication, rather than as an imminent product, in line with the source materials, which describe simulations rather than measured devices.
