Theoretically predicted in the early 20th century, Bose-Einstein condensates, or BECs, were only created in a lab as recently as 1995. They are also perhaps the oddest state of matter, with a great deal about them remaining unknown to science.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Physicists have created the first Bose-Einstein condensate\u2014the mysterious fifth state of matter\u2014made from quasiparticles, entities that do not count as elementary particles but that can still have elementary-particle properties like charge and spin.
