Working steadily for the past six years, the Colorado scientists used that cooling principle to create the Superatom. |

The ultracold atoms all fall into the same quantum state, becoming a sort of superatom called a Bose-Einstein condensate. |
|
Researchers created the first ultracold molecules and a superatom, or Bose-Einstein condensate, of hydrogen. |
|
In all these, bosons lose their individual identities, condensing into a part of a superboson or a superatom. |
|
When the atoms get cold enough, their associated waves coalesce, enabling the formation of a superatom. |
|
A unified view of ligand-protected gold clusters as superatom complexes. |
|
The atoms lost their individuality and began to behave as a superatom. |
|
Unpaired electrons, however, will make an atom, or a superatom, more likely to react with others in an attempt to fill its orbitals and become stable. |
