Scientists are able to observe the “fifth state of matter” in space

Posted in: 12/06/2020 – 15:22

In a precedent, the first of its kind in history, scientists were able to observe the so-called “fifth state of matter”, a condition that comes after solid, liquid, gas, and plasma and is called “high solid” and merges the solid and liquid properties.

The US space agency had She announced In July 2018, a remarkable achievement was the creation of one of the coldest places in the world inside a lab on board the International Space Station called the “Cold Atomic Laboratory”. To do this, they cooled metal atoms called rubidium up to one billionth of a degree above absolute zero.

According to the news that you reported New Scientist Magazine On June 11, 2020, the American scientific experiment led to the formation of a very cold cloud called “Bose-Einstein capacitor”, in the name of the Indian physicist Bose and German Einstein, which is the fifth state of matter. A study of this unprecedented state can help scientists understand the strange quantum properties of very cold atoms that are not on Earth.

By examining this cloud in space, the researchers discovered effects that could not occur on Earth due to the effect of gravity, which, on the other hand, allowed them only a few seconds to make their observations. But after liberating it from gravity, the magnetic trap in which the cloud is trapped allows it to be observed, monitored and analyzed for a longer period.

The researchers consider that such experiments indicate “the beginning of reaping results after several years of scientific experiments, especially with the addition of more activities and processes to the Cold Corn Laboratory over time.”
