Jun. 21--A physicist at Washington State University has created a very cold, very strange little glob of atoms. It's called a Bose-Einstein condensate, and it's colder than anything in the universe -- billions of times chillier than deep space. And what happens to the atoms in that state is among the leading subjects of physics over the past decade, suggesting possibilities for learning more about neutron stars and developing technologies on Earth. "Bose-Einstein condensates have advanced into the center of modern atomic physics," said Peter Engels, an assistant professor and researcher at WSU. "In a way, it bridges the gap between the ...
