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 ...

Physicists have created the first Bose-Einstein condensate — the mysterious ”‘fifth state” of matter — made from quasiparticles, entities that do not count as elementary particles but that can still ...

India, Nov. 20 -- A hundred years ago, a young physics teacher in Calcutta quietly rewrote the way nature counts. On November 20, the idea he discovered-now known as Bose-Einstein statistics-turns 101 ...

We are familiar with the four states of matter such as solid, liquid, gas, and plasma, but little did we know that there's a fifth state called Bose-Einstein Condensate or BEC. Recently, a group of ...

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

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.

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