NASA: How Microgravity Enables Larger Quantum Objects at -459°F

Quantum ZeitgeistJune 17, 20265 min read

NASA’s Cold Atom Lab aboard the International Space Station uses microgravity to study quantum physics, chilling atoms to explore matter at its.

NASA astronauts recently activated an upgraded facility aboard the International Space Station capable of chilling atoms to minus 459 degrees Fahrenheit, just above absolute zero, to explore quantum physics. About the size of a minifridge, the Cold Atom Lab enables researchers to create Bose-Einstein condensates, or BECs, that exhibit wave-like behavior. This microgravity environment allows for the creation of larger, longer-lasting quantum waves than possible on Earth, pushing the boundaries of quantum research. “At the coldest temperatures, matter behaves drastically different from anything we have experienced,”…
