\u2022 NASA Scientists have observed the \u201cfifth state of matter\u201d in space aboard the International Space Station (ISS) for the first time, offering insight that could help solve some of the quantum universe\u2019s most intractable conundrums.<\/p>\n

About:<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022 Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) \u2014 the existence of which was predicted by Albert Einstein and Indian mathematician Satyendra Nath Bose almost a century ago \u2014 are formed when atoms of certain elements are cooled to near absolute zero (0 Kelvin, minus 273.15 Celsius).<\/p>\n

\u2022 At this point, the atoms become a single entity with quantum properties, wherein each particle also functions as a wave of matter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 BECs straddle the line between the macroscopic world governed by forces such as gravity and the microscopic plane, ruled by quantum mechanics.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Scientists believe BECs contain vital clues to mysterious phenomena such as dark energy \u2014 the unknown energy thought to be behind the Universe\u2019s accelerating expansion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
