The coolest point in the universe is to create scientists to explore unknown quantum phenomena.
When rubidium and sodium atoms are cooled to temperatures close to absolute zero (-273.15 οC) behave as a different state of matter, called Bose-Einstein from the names of its inspirers.
In this situation, individuals behave as waves, creating an interesting phenomenon where the mixing of two different atoms can cause their contribution, in which the peak from one wave can be canceled from the other's puddles, so that the sum of two people is equal to zero people!
The experiment will be developed at NASA's Cold Atom Lab, which will be transported in 2016 to the International Space Station (ISS) in orbit around the Earth. Having the ability to cool particles to temperatures of 100 pico-Kelvin (one pico equals one trillionth) above absolute zero, the Cold Atom Lab will give scientists the opportunity to study Bose-Einstein concentrates at the lowest temperatures possible. have never been examined, since these individuals will be the coldest particles in the known Universe during the experiment.
Transfer the experiment to ISS in a few years it will be done in order to study quantum phenomena in an environment in which the effect of gravity is not perceptible. The absence of gravitational accelerations will even allow scientists to cool the atoms even more than on Earth, since the temperature of a gas is a measure of the speed of the atoms contained in it.
The practical benefits of this research are the construction of individual laser, quantum sensors and high precision interferometers. If the researchers also manage to achieve the record temperatures they hope for, the "wave packets" they study could even be the size of a human hair, with results visible to the human eye.
