Best Answer

A Bose Einstein condensate is a phase of matter formed by bosons cooled to temperatures very near to absolute zero. The first such condensate was produced by Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman in 1995 at the University of Colorado at Boulder NIST- JILA lab, using a gas of rubidium atoms cooled to 170 nanokelvin (nK). Under such conditions, a large fraction of the atoms collapse into the lowest quantum state, at which point quantum effects become apparent on a macroscopic scale.

Where was Bose Einstein condensate found?

Bose Einstein condensate was not actually found but predicted by albert Einstein. It would be impossible for Bose/Eistein condensate to exist, but Einstein got very close.


Who was Bose-Einstein condensate named after?

Named after Albert Einstein and Satyendra Bose


Does Bose-Einstein condensate have volume?

A Bose-Einstein condensate does have volume, but the volume is very small. All the atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate are superimposed on each other, so no matter how many you have, the volume is that of a single atom.

Why rubidium is an example of a Bose-Einstein condensate?

Rubidium in itself is not an example of a Bose-Einstein condensate. The Bose-Einstein condensate is the fifth state of matter. Bose-Einstein condensate is a state of matter that only exists near absolute zero (zero degrees Kelvin) temperatures. Currently Rubidium is one of the only materials that scientists have caused to become a Bose-Einstein condensate. So Rubidium isn't an example of a Bose-Einstein condensate, its just an element that has been able to change state and become a Bose-Einstein condensate. Another one is Neutron star wich is the dead remains of a star that has exploded as a supernova. It is like a giant, dense, heavy nucleus of mostly neurons.

Does Bose-Einstein have a shape?

Ideally a Bose-Einstein condensate collapses to a single point. But there will always be excess energy preventing this.
