  1. Solid state manipulation of B-E Condensate by Yazeran · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Well if they can reproduce this, then i belive that we will see proactial applications of this within 5 years. I don't know what these will be, but the fact that they managed to manipulate a Bose-Einstein condensate on a solid state device (well a foil and two gold leads to be sure) makes it more well controlled.


    I wonder what would happen if two such clouds were brought near each other, i suspect that they would repell each other, but would anyone who knows more quantum-physics than me care to explain.
