They are the coldest objects in the Universe and are so fragile that even a single photon can heat and destroy them.
In a new study published today, 28 November 2013, in the Institute of Physics and German Physical Society’s New Journal of Physics,
a group of researchers from the UK and Australia have come up with a
new way of measuring BECs by using a filter to cancel out the damage
caused by the streams of light that are typically used to measure them.
