ULTRA-COLD MATTER. “Instead, the atoms fall into the same quantum states, and can't be distinguished from one another. At that point the atoms start obeying what are called Bose-Einstein statistics, which are usually applied to particles you can't tell apart, such as photons.” (Some planets are ultra-cold) https://lnkd.in/eu7-Pmkt View in LinkedIn

5TH STATE OF MATTER. “With a Bose-Einstein condensate, you start from a disordered state, where kinetic energy is greater than potential energy. You cool it down, but it doesn't form a lattice like a solid.” https://lnkd.in/eu7-Pmkt View in LinkedIn

LAB CONDENSATES. “To make a Bose-Einstein condensate, you start with a cloud of diffuse gas. Many experiments start with atoms of rubidium. Then you cool it with lasers, using the beams to take energy away from the atoms. After that, to cool them further, scientists use evaporative cooling.” https://lnkd.in/eu7-Pmkt View in LinkedIn

BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATE. “At that point, the atoms begin to clump together, and enter the same energy states. They become identical, from a physical point of view, and the whole group starts behaving as though it were a single atom.” https://lnkd.in/eu7-Pmkt View in LinkedIn

ORBITAL ASYMMETRY. “Since electrons on filled atomic shells lead only to spherical charge distributions, the electrons in open shells are responsible for the anisotropic charge and spin distributions and thus for the eventual appearance of multipolar order.” https://journals.jps.jp/doi/full/10.7566/JPSJ.87.041008 View in LinkedIn

OPPOSITES. “The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.”(Niels Bohr). https://lnkd.in/e3-J7hXM View in LinkedIn

ELECTRON CHARGES. “In particular, the electron clouds around nuclei in crystalline materials can be systematically characterized by using the multipole expansion.” https://journals.jps.jp/doi/full/10.7566/JPSJ.87.041008 View in LinkedIn

CONDENSED MATTER SYSTEMS. “This diversity of phenomena can be attributed to the multiple degrees of freedom available to the electronic system that, in itself or in conjunction to lattice degrees of freedom, can have access to entangled spin and orbital states.” https://journals.jps.jp/doi/full/10.7566/JPSJ.87.041008 View in LinkedIn

CHAOTIC TIME, “It turns out that yet another version of Anderson localization is possible: Anderson localization in time due to the presence of disorder in time.” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn
