Non-event?
Shows how little I know. I always thought this was evidently possible but that no-one had a need to do it.
It seems the practicalities mean that only now are the able to start planning towards it.

Grand Unified (#GU) (Official Page) originally shared:

Researchers have worked out how to make matter from pure light and are drawing up plans to demonstrate the feat within the next 12 months.
The theory underpinning the idea was first described 80 years ago by two physicists who later worked on the first atomic bomb. At the time they considered the conversion of light into matter impossible in a laboratory.
But in a report published on Sunday, physicists at Imperial College London claim to have cracked the problem using high-powered lasers and other equipment now available to scientists.
