Quantum Dipolar Gases in Boson or Fermion Flavor
Physics
Fermionic atoms, however, avoid each other. At very low temperatures, a trapped gas of these atoms forms a Fermi sea, where the atoms fill the allowed energy levels of the gas up to the so-called Fermi level. Although the low-temperature states of ...

IBEX's Slower Sun — and No Bow Shock
Sky & Telescope
Since its launch in 2008, the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) has measured energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) from its orbit around Earth. These high-speed neutral atoms are created when charged particles in the solar wind interact with atoms coming ...

Searching the universe for highly energetic cosmic particles and role models
Phys.Org (press release)
Cosmic rays, which are made up of subatomic and atomic particles ranging from electrons and protons to iron nuclei, bombard the Earth's atmosphere from space. They are produced and accelerated in the most violent environments of our known universe and ...
