Bose-Einstein Condensate Produced in Laser Cavity

[Analogue]

German researchers have modified the principle of laser construction to create a Bose-Einstein condensate at room temperature. An overview of the research can be found here:

Researchers get trapped photons to act like massive particles

you beat me I was gonna post this too

"This method may potentially be suitable for designing novel light sources resembling lasers that work in the x-ray range".

Bonn physicists create a 'super-photon'

mod will be pissed off, will need to create additional categories ("x-ray lasers" or "25nm lasers") and maybe another wavelengths

good adding btw

The fact is that Bose-Einstein Condensate never exist in this known universe. It is really a man made phase beside gas, liquid and solid.

what about the 4th state matter? :na:

Plasma do exist in nature as other phases. Ever heard of fire ?

yes, her name is Leslie and she broke my heart. :cryyy:

So fire broke your heart and then your plasma poured fourth. Perhaps this could be considered a case of stimulated emission?

LoL....

PS. I had a hand in creating that. Well more like a pinky.

^^^ewww

Meh, just make one "cancer ray" board for anything far below 400 nm

I wonder what the warning label will look like on those.. "do not look into aperture - will cause brain tumors!" ?

When computing power plateaus there may be a huge economic crash in Silicon Valley. So Boes-Einstein Condensate Quantum Computers FTW!
