...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...
