| Title: |
Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) |
| Description: |
A colorized lattice of tornado-like vortices within a spinning Bose Einstein condensate of rubidium atoms. Formed in an ultrahigh vacuum at temperatures of only a few hundred billionths of degree above absolute zero, such condensates are a new tool for studying quantum mechanics.
