CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS. “Of the five states matter can be in, the Bose-Einstein condensate is perhaps the most mysterious. Gases, liquids, solids and plasmas were all well studied for decades, if not centuries; Bose-Einstein condensates weren't created in the laboratory until the 1990s.”  https://lnkd.in/eu7-Pmkt View in LinkedIn

DEFINITION. “Condensed matter physics (CMP) seeks to understand the microscopic interactions of matter at the quantum and atomistic levels, and describes how these interactions result in both mesoscopic and macroscopic properties.” https://lnkd.in/eKzctYWy View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM FIELDS. “Intermolecular forces are pervasive in nature and give rise to various phenomena including surface wetting, adhesive forces in biology, and the Casimir effect, which causes two charge-neutral, metal objects in vacuum to attract each other. These interactions are the result of quantum fluctuations of electromagnetic waves and the boundary conditions imposed by the interacting materials.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0777-8 View in LinkedIn

KEY THEORY. “Quantum fluctuations of the vacuum stress-energy tensor are highly non-Gaussian, and can have unexpectedly large effects on spacetime geometry.” https://lnkd.in/eeq_Rq-x View in LinkedIn

If you look closely at this old bank near Girona, you will see the remains of an ancient stone wall that nature has reclaimed, just as the jungle reclaimed entire Mayan cities. View in LinkedIn

MEGAMASER. When galaxies merge, they become extremely dense, and hydroxyl molecules produce a specific radio signal known as a maser in radio waves, and when that signal is very bright it is called a megamaser. A megamaser nicknamed Nkalakatha (a Zulu word that means big boss) has been detected 58 thousand billion billion kms from Earth, so the time that the light took to arrive could be greater than the age of the solar system. https://lnkd.in/ginnG4-u View in LinkedIn

CONDENSATE DROPLETS. “This brief review summarizes recent theoretical and experimental results which predict and establish the existence of quantum droplets (QDs), i.e., robust two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) self-trapped states in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), which are stabilized by effective self-repulsion induced by quantum fluctuations around the mean-field (MF) states.” https://lnkd.in/g78xpDpU View in LinkedIn
