The most likely cause is xanthochromism, a rare genetic condition that suppresses normal pigmentation and allows yellow tones to prevail. An eel-looking fish, …
In the Tiangong space station achieved a new record: a gas was cooled to 9.7 picokelvin
An experiment on China’s Tiangong Station cooled about 20,000 rubidium atoms to near absolute zero (9.7 picokelvin) to form a Bose-Einstein condensate, an achievement made possible by taking advantage of the unique microgravity environment in Earth’s orbital space. A gas of approx 20,000 rubidium atoms has been cooled to a …
