Typical newspaper science.

Einstein said that this was the light of speed in VACUUM it can't be speeded-up or slowed down in VACUUM.

When light travels through materials, it slows down. If it wouldn't lenses would not work.

This lady made light pass through a "cloud of ultracold atoms" which is not vacuum.

The lady did a great job, but Einstein was still right!
