NASA created a new physical state

NASA announces the birth of a new material state called Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC).

NASA announces the birth of a new material state called Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC).

According to the jpl.nasa.gov website, the mission of NASA's Cold Weather Laboratory (CAL) was successful when it created the BEC, which was seen as an important breakthrough for the CAL before it was officially deployed. on the International Space Station by the end of 2016.

An atom chip will be used for CALs when deployed to the ISS.

BEC is a group of atoms in the thin state, lowering the temperature to extremely cold, leaving every atom to share a quantum state, ie maintaining the same energy level.

At the critical temperature, the atoms begin to reassemble, overlap, and become synchronized under the coldest conditions of the California Laboratory of the Dynamics.

Finally, this condensation is seen as a new state of matter that behaves like a large, atomic atomic wave.

Over the next two years, CAL will investigate these new condensed matter conditions under microgravity conditions, where it is possible to achieve lower colds than anywhere else on the planet. Can explain the long unanswered questions about quantum phenomena.
