Quantum Matter Is Being Studied At A Temperature 3 Billion Times Colder Than Deep Space
A team of Japanese and US physicists has pushed thousand of Ytterbium atoms to just within a billionth of a point above absolute zero to understand how matter behaves at these extreme temperatures . The approach treats the atoms as fermions , the character of particles like negatron and proton , that can not end up in the so - promise fifth state of matter at those extreme temperature : aBose - Einstein Condensate ....
