[using magnetic expansion]NASA researchers are planning to create the coldest spot in the known universe inside the International Space Station.
“We’re going to study matter at temperatures far colder than are found naturally,” says Rob Thompson of JPL.
Maybe they "interfere like waves", because waves are the only motions not frozen.Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that describes the bizarre … If you create two BECs and put them together, they don't mix like an ordinary gas. Instead, they can "interfere" like waves: thin, parallel layers...
Researchers like Thompson think of the Cold Atom Lab as a doorway into the quantum world. Could the door swing both ways? If the temperature drops low enough, “we’ll be able to assemble atomic wave packets as wide as a human hair--that is, big enough for the human eye to see.” A creature of quantum physics will have entered the macroscopic world.
Tesla wave-packets anyone ?
