I'm not sure what IIRC stands for, but you're behind the times. Look at the date on the article below. Not only has light been stopped, but it's also been speeded up beyond its normal limit.

A lot of things that were science fiction have become hard fact in the last few years. Another thing you may find hard to believe is teleportation, which has been done in several labs now. (Not the Star Trek type, but very real nevertheless.) There are two reasons why such things are typically not widely reported. One is that most reporters don't have the science background needed to realize why such stories are important, and the other is that most people would not understand them anyway.

Cold fusion is still being worked on, and there are some top-rate scientists who believe that it is very possible. They just don't say much, for fear of having their reputations ruined. Science is like religion, in that it has orthodoxies and heresies. The dirty secret of science is that most scientists are not nearly as open-minded as they want people to think they are. Right now cold fusion is a heresy, and anybody who speaks out in favor of it is shunned.
