- Context: Scientists have discovered a new form of light
- New form of light: The angular momentum of each photon (a particle of visible light) takes only half of this value
- Earlier: In all forms of light, the angular momentum would be a multiple of Planck’s constant
- Planck’s constant: The physical constant that sets the scale of quantum effects
- Experiment by: William Rowan Hamilton and physicist Humphrey Lloyd
- Effect: Creates impact on fundamental understanding of light, enable strange new possibilities of particles whose quantum numbers were fractions of those expected
