What is a Bose-Einstein Condensate? A Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is an exotic state of matter that forms when a dilute gas of bosonic particles is cooled to temperatures very close to absolute ...
New research shows that the unique properties of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates extend to the internal spin states of the atoms from which the condensates are formed. Bose-Einstein condensates are ...
New experimental research shows that half-matter, half-light quasi-particles called polaritons show compelling evidence of Bose-Einstein condensation at the relatively high temperature of 19 degrees ...
In a Columbia University laboratory in New York, physicist Sebastian Will and his team have reached one of ultracold physics’ long-running goals: turning molecules into a Bose-Einstein condensate.
In a breakthrough new study, physicists have successfully wrangled thousands of molecules into a single unified quantum state for the first time. The key to the new development is a strange state of ...
Scientists have created a Bose-Einstein condensate out of excitons -- quasiparticles that combine electrons and positively charged 'holes' -- in a semiconductor. Quasiparticle Bose-Einstein ...
Using the Multi-frequency High Field Electron Spin Resonance Spectrometer at the Steady-State High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF) in the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of ...
On the International Space Station, astronauts are weightless. Atoms are, too. That weightlessness makes it easier to study a weird quantum state of matter known as a Bose-Einstein condensate. Now, ...
