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 ...

The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets of quantum physics. Now, scientists from Columbia University have created a ...

In a Columbia University laboratory in New York, physicist Sebastian Will and his team have reached one of ultracold physics’ ...

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 ...

Ultracold atoms sit at the heart of the quantum-technology revolution. India has built a strong and steadily growing presence ...

(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 ...

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.

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars is ...
