Exploring the 5th State of Matter: Supercool or Myth?

In summary, there is a state of matter called the supercool state, also known as a superfluid, when matter is exposed to extremely cold temperatures below 4 Kelvin. This is known as an Einstein-Bose condensate and can be further researched on Wikipedia's page for "phases of matter".

is there a state of matter called the supercool state or something..if yes,can someone please elaborate?..if no,can someone please reply about the states of matter..?

when stuff gets really cold like below 4 Kelvin , it can become an Einstein-Bose condensate
 
  • #3
Yes, I've seen "superfluid" described as another state of matter.

do u mean..like..when gas is exposed to -279 deg celcius..it directly changes into liquid or a superfluid as u may call it..??

Please type words properly; you are not "texting".

Try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superfluid" . Notice in the first sentence it links to "phases of matter", which is what we are talking about as "states".

1. What is the 5th state of matter?

The 5th state of matter, also known as the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC), is a state of matter that occurs at extremely low temperatures near absolute zero. In this state, atoms become superfluids and move in unison, behaving more like waves than particles.

2. How is the 5th state of matter created?

The 5th state of matter is created by cooling a gas of atoms to near absolute zero, typically using lasers and magnetic fields. This causes the atoms to slow down and merge together into a single entity, forming the BEC.

3. What are the properties of the 5th state of matter?

The 5th state of matter has unique properties such as superfluidity and the ability to act as a wave. It also has a much higher energy density and a lower entropy compared to other states of matter.

4. What are the potential applications of the 5th state of matter?

The 5th state of matter has potential applications in quantum computing, as well as in precision measurements and sensors. It may also be used to create new materials with unique properties.

5. How does the 5th state of matter relate to the other states of matter?

The 5th state of matter is considered an extension of the other four states of matter (solid, liquid, gas, and plasma). It exhibits properties of both particles and waves, making it a unique state of matter with its own distinct characteristics.
