====Bose–Einstein condensate==== {{Standard model of particle physics|Scientists}} [[File:Bose Einstein condensate.png|thumb|left|250px|Velocity-distribution data of a gas of [[rubidium]] atoms, confirming the discovery of a new phase of matter, [[Bose–Einstein condensate|the Bose–Einstein condensate]].<ref>{{Citation | contribution-url = http://patapsco.nist.gov/imagegallery/details.cfm?imageid=193 | contribution = Quantum Physics; Bose Einstein condensate | publisher = NIST | title = Image Gallery | date = 11 March 2006 | url = http://patapsco.nist.gov/ | access-date = 12 April 2012 | archive-date = 16 May 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120516181854/http://patapsco.nist.gov/ | url-status = live }}.</ref> Left: just before the appearance of a Bose–Einstein condensate. Center: just after the appearance of the condensate. Right: after further evaporation, leaving a sample of nearly pure condensate.]] Einstein also did not at first realize how radical Bose's departure was, and in his first paper after Bose, he was guided, like Bose, by the fact that the new method gave the right answer. But after Einstein's second paper using Bose's method in which Einstein predicted the Bose-Einstein condensate (''pictured left''), he started to realize just how radical it was, and he compared it to wave/particle duality, saying that some particles didn't behave exactly like particles. Bose had already submitted his article to the British Journal ''Philosophical Magazine'', which rejected it before he sent it to Einstein. It is not known why it was rejected.<ref>A.Douglas Stone, Chapter 24, ''The Indian Comet'', in the book ''Einstein and the Quantum'', Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey, 2013.</ref> Einstein adopted the idea and extended it to atoms. This led to the prediction of the existence of phenomena which became known as [[Bose–Einstein condensate]], a dense collection of [[boson]]s (which are particles with integer [[Spin (physics)|spin]], named after Bose), which was demonstrated to exist by experiment in 1995. {{clear|left}}
