...Fong's eyes shifted between the BOSE speaker and the computer terminal, I wondered whether and why she would be taking the course. What I could not understand were her motives in choosing to shop a music course. How much of the opera was she hearing, I wondered; if she couldn't hear, why shop opera...
...matter how vivid the danger lurking deep within its corridors, a game like Quake would be little more than a feast for the eye without equally rich 3-D grunts and groans. That's where Bose's top speakers come in handy: the amplifier and two ear-thrashing cubes will replace that grating, tin-can PC sound with a digital symphony. ($699; Bose...
...EINSTEIN STRIKES AGAIN Although it was predicted by Albert Einstein 70 years ago, scientists have just now found a new form of matter, called a Bose-Einstein condensate. By cooling a cloud of rubidium atoms almost to absolute zero (-459.67¡F), the physicists forced them to march in lock-step formation, just as Einstein said they would...
...that had appeared in a cloud of rubidium atoms. Finally, Cornell had to acknowledge that it could mean only one thing: he and his colleagues had created a new form of matter, predicted by Albert Einstein more than 70 years ago but never before seen on earth. Called a Bose-Einstein condensate, it is a kind of "superatom," in which individual atoms lose their separate identities and merge into a single entity...
...physicists' excitement comes partly from the intellectual pleasure of seeing an important scientific loose end tied up at last. When Einstein first suggested the idea of BEC back in the 1920s, building on the work of the Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose, quantum mechanics was a new and controversial field. Among its stranger assertions -- long since confirmed -- was that atoms and other elementary particles can also be thought of as waves. The waves are really waves of probability, which describe where an atom is most likely to be at a given moment (Heisenberg's uncertainty principle dictates that...
