Physicists create new state of matter

Article Abstract:

The Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), a long-sought state in which a gas is cooled to a point where its atoms all share one quantum state, was achieved by a team at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. They won a race with other labs by combining evaporative and laser cooling techniques.

Particle physicists take to orbit

Article Abstract:

Two projects illustrate the trend of particle physicists moving into astrophysics research. One is the Gamma Large Array Space Telescope, which has input from the Stanford Linear Accelerator Laboratory. The other is the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer planned for the International Space Station.

Physicists explore the driplines

Article Abstract:

The 1993 Conference on Radioactive Nuclear Beams focused on research on nuclei that are on the edge of stability. Advances in accelerator and detector technology have allowed physicists to study more than 3,000 exotic nuclei.
