Is glass liquid or solid? It is sometimes said that glass in very old churches is thicker at the bottom than at the top because glass is a liquid, and so over several centuries it has flowed towards the bottom. This is not true. In...Activities in Higher Education and Research in low temperature physics. Included are resources used in teaching, many recent publications, some talks and videos of experiments at low temperatures.

Bose-Einstein Condensates Einstein who predicted its existence, a Bose-Einstein condensate is an unusual state of matter that arises because of quantum mechanical effects on a collection of entities called bosons. Everything is either a boson or a fermion. The spin of an...Information and photos about the research group led by Dr. P. C. Canfield. The group is mostly dedicated to the design, growth and characterization of novel electronic and magnetic compounds and the study of their physical properties.
