Metals, as most know them, are good conductors of electricity. That's because the countless electrons in a metal like gold or silver move more or less freely from one atom to the next, their motion impeded only by occasional collisions with defects in the material.

With just the flick of a switch, quantum materials can undergo drastic changes. One notable example is the insulator-to-metal transition, a reversible physical phenomenon in which a material shifts from an insulating state, which will not conduct electricity, to a metallic one that will.

Researchers at Columbia University have created a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) using sodium-cesium molecules, cooled to just five nanoKelvin and stable for two seconds. This achievement opens up possibilities for exploring various quantum phenomena and simulating complex materials’ quantum properties. Credit: SciTechDaily.comPhysicists at Columbia University have taken molecules to a new ultracold limit and created a state of matter where quantum mechanics reigns.

There's a hot new BEC in town that has nothing to do with bacon, egg, and cheese. You won't find it at your local bodega, but in the coldest place in New York: the lab of Columbia physicist Sebastian Will, whose experimental group specializes in pushing atoms and molecules to temperatures just fractions of a degree above absolute zero.
