Die NASA schafft auf der ISS einen fünften Zustand der Materie dank eines Upgrades zu einem Quantenlabor in Mini-Kühlschrankgröße: Eine neue Reihe von Upgrades für das Cold Atom Laboratory der Internationalen Raumstation ermöglicht es der NASA, die Quantenmechanik bei möglichst niedrigen Temperaturen und in der Schwerelosigkeit zu erforschen

For anyone wondering, the ‚fifth state of matter‘ being referenced here is a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC). It happens when atoms are cooled down to a fraction of a degree above absolute zero, causing them to lose their individual identities and clump together into a single ’super-atom‘ that behaves macroscopically according to quantum mechanics rules
Great.
They’re gonna make ice 9
The “four states of matter” are the ones you learn about in high school. There are many more.
that’s wild, basically creating a quantum blob that ignores normal physics rules
