Phys.org  June 11, 2020 Scientists believe Bose-Einstein Condensates (BEC) contain vital clues to mysterious phenomena such as dark energy. As they are extremely fragile it is nearly impossible for scientists to study BEC on Earth, where gravity interferes with the magnetic fields required to hold them in place for observation. Last week a team of NASA scientists unveiled the first results from BEC experiments aboard the International Space Station, where particles can be manipulated. An international team of researchers (USA -Caltech, Germany) documents several startling differences in the properties of BECs created on Earth and those aboard the ISS. BECs […]
