The Fifth State of Matter

-
Satyendra Nath Bose was an Indian physicist who lived from 1894, to 1974. After collaborating with Albert Einstein on some quantum mechanic statistics they decided to get their work published. The two great minds theorized that the mathematics done by Bose could be applied to atoms as well as light. The two first theorized Bose-Einstein Condensate and carved the bath for its eventual creation. Without them, the fifth state of matter may never have existed.

When technology finally allowed them too, scientists Eric Cornell and Carl  Weiman cooled rubidium, a soft, silvery metallic element, within a few degrees of absolute zero. At a molecular level, the atoms move so incredibly slowly that they begin to group together and act as one super atom. The atom is so close to absolute zero that light even seems to travel slower through it. When observing the Bose Einstein Condensates at a molecular level, you wouldn't see any small, intricate atoms, but more along the lines of a big fuzzy ball.

Bose-Einstein Condensates is carving a path to the future of science with its massive potential and uses. It can be used to study quantum mechanics at a molecular level, particle/wave paradox since light passes so slowly through it, and it has many properties of a super-fluid, a fluid that has no friction, and can be very helpful in times to come. The next step for this exciting stage of matter would just be for scientists everywhere to share their theories, data, and findings with the whole world to further our knowledge on this topic. This big fuzzy ball is the future, and the future is now.

Molecular Gastronomy   By: Shahminah Mahar-ullah Date:3/22/19 Molecular Gastronomy is both a fusion of science and cooking. The scientific discipline gives the chef complete control of what the texture, taste, and physical appearance of the dish. Molecular Gastronomy is a modern unique style of cooking that some would say it could be considered art. There are three aspects of Molecular Gastronomy, as i said before it is texture,taste,and physical appearance. Molecular Gastronomy can have a very simple and familiar taste or a new and unique taste. Taste is often a aspect that is forgotten about in Molecular Gastronomy. Mostly because people who don't know much about the style of cooking kinda forget that its actually cooking ,not just some form a science. Taste is the main focus with cooking in general and with molecular cooking taste can be brought to a whole new level since you have complete control over each part of the dish. Same goes for physical appearance and ...

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions Maisy Chase Up until now only three classes of chemical reactions were known. Unimolecular reactions occur when one reactant undergoes bond breaking or forming to create different products. Bimolecular reactions are where two reactants collide and then undergo bond breaking or forming. Termolecular association reactions, where two reactants collide to form a whole with a new chemical bond between the two reactants. A third molecule, known as the bath gas, then removes some of the internal kinetic energy of that molecule to stabilize it. Researchers from Columbia University , led by Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Michael P. Burke, have discovered a fourth class of chemical reaction known as “chemically termolecular reactions.” This involves the breaking and bonding of three molecules. The team showed that these chemically termolecular reactions not only are major chemical pathways but also ...

Force and Motion

Zach Fluck Science blog Force and Motion Blog Sir Isaac Newton was an English astronomer, physicist, and mathematician, born on December 25, 1642. He died on March 20, 1727, most likely from mercury poisoning or old age. However, during his life, he made several contributions to modern science and advanced our understanding of physics tremendously. Arguably his most famous discovery was gravity. However, he had to use his 3 laws of motion to make this accomplishment. Newton understood that an object at rest will stay at rest, unless acted on by unbalanced forces. Therefore, if an object such as an apple is in a resting position there must be a force to make the apple fall to the ground. He discovered this invisible force to be gravity. At a young age Newton was removed from school to be a farmhand. Despite returning to school the turning point in his live was he left his hometown to attend Cambridge University. After attending Cambridge he returned to his hometown where his observat...
