A chilling first: Physicists create exotic “fifth form of matter” on board the ISS
https://arstechnica.com/science/…
Physicists at Caltech and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory have created a rare quantum state of matter known as a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in space for the first time, according to a recent paper published in the journal Nature. The physicists did so by placing a compact experimental setup the size of a mini-fridge on board the International Space Station (ISS). It's called the Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL), aka "the coolest spot in the universe."
