| Title: |
Bose-Einstein condensate; Physics |
| Description: |
Computer simulation showing tornado-like vortices forming within a spinning Bose-Einstein condensate. BEC's are a new state of matter in which a collection of atoms behaves like one uniform "superatom." This NIST simulation helped confirm that BEC's are superfluids - a kind of liquid/gas that flows without friction.
