Could it also conceivably be used to store energy?
- beloch 13y agoLight is energy, so yes. A slightly better question might be whether EIT could store energy in amounts large enough to make it useful as a capacitor. At present, this is not likely. This technology is striving towards optical RAM, not caps.
- hcarvalhoalves 13y agoBy definition, it can. I think it wouldn't be useful for batteries though, if that's what you had in mind. The energy density is awful (99.9...% of the mass will be that of the crystal, which is just used as a media, not converted to energy).
