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.

The 20th century was marked by the discovery of exotic states of matter. First, liquid helium was observed to flow without ...

The Einstein–de Haas effect, which links the spin of electrons to macroscopic rotation, has now been demonstrated in a ...

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

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.

Bose–Einstein condensates and ultracold atoms continue to offer profound insights into quantum many‐body systems and emergent macroscopic quantum phenomena. These systems, achieved by cooling dilute ...

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.

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