The study of quantum gases and Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) continues to redefine our understanding of matter at ultracold temperatures. When cooled to nanokelvin regimes, quantum gases exhibit ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) are a kind of quantum “magnifying glass” in which ...

The first Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) was first created by Eric Cornell, Carl Wieman, Mike Anderson, Jason Ensher, and Michael Matthews on June 5, 1995 in JILA at the University of Colorado Boulder ...

A bizarre state of matter just got weirder — and more useful. Physicists have succeeded in cooling down molecules so much that hundreds of them lock in step, making a single gigantic quantum state.

If you think superconductivity is magical, wait until you discover the even stranger and more incredible phenomena that exist ...

The experiment takes place in a vacuum chamber, where ultracold atomic clouds with a temperature of 30 nK are generated via laser cooling. Pictured: Professor Herwig Ott and Dr. Erik Bernhart. They ...

With the help of microwaves, Columbia physicists have created a Bose-Einstein Condensate, a unique state of matter, from sodium-cesium molecules. There’s a hot new BEC in town that has nothing to do ...
