This weird quantum state of matter was made in orbit for the first time

By Earl on 15 Jun 2020 on No Comments

Bose-Einstein condensates made on the International Space Station could reach temperatures lower than any known in the universe.

On the International Space Station, astronauts are weightless. Atoms are, too.

That weightlessness makes it easier to study a weird quantum state of matter known as a Bose-Einstein condensate. Now, the first Bose-Einstein condensates made on the space station are reported in the June 11 Nature.

The ability to study the strange state of matter in orbit will aid scientists’ understanding of fundamental physics as well as make possible new, more sensitive quantum measurements, says Lisa Wörner of the German Aerospace Center Institute of Quantum Technologies in Bremen. “I cannot overstate the importance of this experiment to the community,” she says.
