News Release
NIST/University of Colorado Scientists Create New Form of Matter: A Fermionic Condensate
NIST/CU-Boulder scientists Deborah Jin, Markus Greiner, and Cindy Regal report the first observation of a "fermionic condensate" formed from pairs of atoms in a gas, a long-sought, novel form of matter. Physicists hope that further research with such condensates eventually will help unlock the mysteries of high-temperature superconductivity.
