• Storage of Light in Atomic Vapor
  "We report an experiment in which a light pulse is effectively decelerated and trapped in a vapor of Rb atoms, stored for a controlled period of time, and then released on demand."
  By D. F. Phillips, A. Fleischhauer, A. Mair, and R. L. Walsworth ; M. D. Lukin, ITAMP, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics

The Quantum Air-Track - (dead link)
"It is a collection of about 30 quicktime "graph movies" which illustrates the scattering of a particle by a fixed potential, or by another particle, in one dimension."
By Andrew Edgar, Physics Dept., Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
