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.

Scientists have created a Bose-Einstein condensate out of excitons -- quasiparticles that combine electrons and positively charged 'holes' -- in a semiconductor. Quasiparticle Bose-Einstein ...

Recent theoretical developments have fostered a convergence between gravitational physics and condensed matter through the investigation of black holes as self-sustained Bose–Einstein condensates.

This month marks 25 years since scientists first produced a fifth state of matter, which has extraordinary properties totally unlike solids, liquids, gases and plasmas. The achievement garnered a ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) There’s a hot new BEC in town that has nothing to do with bacon, egg, and cheese. You won’t find it at your local bodega, but in the coldest place in New York: the lab of Columbia ...

In a spinor-dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate of europium atoms, near-zero magnetic fields allow dipole–dipole interactions to drive spin relaxation, producing circulating flow in the quantum fluid.
