Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) represent a unique state of matter in which dilute gases of bosons cooled to temperatures near absolute zero coalesce into a single macroscopic quantum state. Their ...

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 ...

The creation of the first Bose-Einstein condensate in a gas has been rewarded with the Nobel Prize for Physics just six years after the breakthrough was made. In 1924 the Indian physicist Satyendra ...

Research into the exotic quantum phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation shows no sign of slowing as researchers in the US and France make advances in different directions. Almost six years have ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an ...

Bose-Einstein condensates are often described as the fifth state of matter: At extremely low temperatures, gas atoms behave like a single particle. The exact properties of these systems are ...

Researchers at Aalto University, Finland are the first to create a Bose-Einstein condensate of light coupled with metal electrons, so-called surface plasmon polaritons Nearly a hundred years ago, ...
