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, ...

Matter and energy are interconvertible. Matter is present in various energy states These energy states were found to be temperature-dependent The higher the temperature, the greater the energy For ...

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 ...

Slow-light effects in ultracold atom clouds known as Bose–Einstein condensates offer rich opportunities for storing and processing optical signals. Although the high speed of light, 300,000 km s −1 in ...

The human brain is an aggregate of nearly 100 billion neurons. Various thoughts that constantly crowd our minds are the sum total of simultaneous activity of different neurons. Matter and energy are ...

The term supercurrent is commonly assigned to a resistance-free charge current in a superconductor or to a viscosity-free particle current in superfluid 4 He or 3 He. More generally, this macroscopic ...

Superconductors – materials in which electricity flows without any resistance whatsoever – could be extremely useful for future electronics. Now, engineers at the University of Tokyo have managed to ...

Discover 'ghostly' particles and quantum depletion. A new study makes the first observation of 'ghost particles' from Bose-Einstein condensates via 'quantum depletion': particles expelled by ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists have created a Bose-Einstein condensate out of excitons — quasiparticles that combine electrons and positively charged “holes” — in a semiconductor. Quasiparticle ...

In a move that puts the rest of remote workers to shame for the remainder of the quarantine, a researcher from the University of Sussex has made a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) from her living room.
