Bose-Einstein Condensate: On a chip

Posted by Hemos on from the making-it-small dept.

The Evil Dwarf from Hell writes "This week's Nature has an article (paid subscription required) by a team that has created a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) using an "atom chip". The chip suspends atoms over the surface using various fields and allows them to be moved from one location to another. A couple of advantages are relaxed contraints on the vacuum and increased speed of BEC formation (down to less than 1 second). (A quickie is available on Physics News Update). This goes with a news story in last weeks Science about 1d and 2d BECs. (A search on arXiv.org gives 167 hits in the last year for BECs)."
