A team of NASA scientists unveiled the first results from Bose-Einstein condensates experiments aboard the International Space Station. Image: NASA/AFP via AFP Relaxnews Scientists have observed the fifth state of matter in space for the first time, offering unprecedented insight that could help solve some of the quantum universe’s most intractable conundrums, research showed Thursday. Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) — the existence of which was predicted by Albert Einstein and Indian mathematician Satyendra Nath Bose almost a century ago — are formed when atoms of certain elements are cooled to near absolute zero (0 Kelvin, minus 273.15 degrees Celsius). At […]
