It looks like a dense little lump in the bottom of the magnetic trap/bowl; kind of like a drop of water condensing out of damp air onto a cold bowl.

The most obvious property of a BEC is that a large fraction of its particles occupy the same, namely the lowest, energy state. In atomic condensates this can be confirmed by measuring the velocity distribution of the atoms in the gas.

A Bose-Einstein condensate is a group of atoms cooled to within a hair of absolute zero. At that point, the atoms begin to clump together, and enter the same energy states. They become identical, from a physical point of view, and the whole group starts behaving as though it were a single atom.

These are Bose Einstein Condensate and Plasma. As you know that in Liquid the particles are not tightly packed as they are in solids. The state of matter that can change its shape but not its volume is LIQUID. So, the liquid takes the shape of container in which it is kept..

Bose-Einstein condensates

• Bose–Einstein condensate.
• Fermionic condensate.
• Degenerate matter.
• Quantum Hall.
• Rydberg matter.
• Rydberg polaron.
• Strange matter.
• Superfluid.

Aerogels are the lightest solids and have a density of 1.9 mg per cm3 or 1.9 kg/m3 (526.3 times lighter than water).

The bottom line is that a flame only becomes a plasma if it gets hot enough. Flames at lower temperatures do not contain enough ionization to become a plasma. On the other hand, a higher-temperature flame does indeed contain enough freed electrons and ions to act as a plasma.

Fire doesn’t fall into gas, because it doesn’t expand in the same way gas does. Fire doesn’t fall into liquid, because it doesn’t have a fixed volume. Fire doesn’t fall into solid, because it doesn’t have a fixed shape. Thus, fire is currently considered a plasma.

For fire, the rising smoke and ash could create what’s called a flammagenitus, also known as a pyrocumulus cloud or fire cloud, is a dense cumuliform cloud associated with fire or volcanic eruptions that may produce dry lightning (lightning without rain).

Fire (flames) may contain plasma, albeit one that is a partially ionized plasma, and dominated by collisions: “Whether a plasma exists in a flame depends on the material being burned and the temperature”.

That is the main reason that fire is not considered a plasma. Plasma will have a much larger fraction of its atoms and free electrons above the ionization threshold and have a much higher ionization.

The ITER plasma will be ten times hotter than the centre of the Sun. For a physicist, temperature is not only an indication of “cold” or “hot”; it also describes the energy of the particles that make up an object or a particular environment such as a plasma. …

If you touch the plasma ball, all of the electrons will go through you to the ground. You see only one big spark inside the ball where you put your hand. If you touch it long enough, you get filled with electrons and can light up a light bulb!

Most plasma will burn you, and enough of it and you will die. Lightning is a plasma and that can kill you quite easily.

The radio-frequency energy from the transformer is transmitted into the gas within the globe through an electrode at its center. If a hand is placed close to the globe it produces a faint smell of ozone, as the gas is produced by high voltage interaction with atmospheric oxygen.

If you break the glass, the fill gas will dissipate and be replaced by ambient air. In contrast with the noble gases, air is a mixture of mostly molecular gases that offer many more pathways for energy from electrical excitation to be dissipated.

A plasma ball is a high-voltage electrical device and should be used with caution. The frequencies it emits may interfere with cell phones, Wi-Fi and cordless phones. Because the plasma ball emits electromagnetic radiation, it can interfere with pacemakers.

To repair a broken plasma ball, also known as a plasma globe or light, nebula spheres or lightning balls, requires an understanding of how they work. Though most store-bought plasma balls are inexpensive to replace, you can replace the globe and gases and reuse the electronics.

Plasma balls don’t emit gamma rays or even X rays (have a look here). However, they emit some other forms of radiation which is still capable of energizing electrons to create electron-ion pairs.

Keep away from metal surfaces, metal objects and remove any metal jewellery before operating a plasma ball. Touching anything metal whilst touching the ball will generate a small static shock6. Any metal object that touches the ball will rapidly heat up and can cause burns and fires8.

No arc outside, no ozone. Ozone production was, from what I’ve read, an issue in early models. But you’re at much more risk having a laser printer or copier near by. Why did I remove my plasma ball?

Touching something metal (like the edge of the table) while touching the plasma ball can shock you. It’s not dangerous, but it can be startling. Leaving your hand on the sphere in one place for a long time generates heat.

Whether in its pure form or mixed with other chemicals, ozone can be harmful to health. When inhaled, ozone can damage the lungs. Relatively low amounts of ozone can cause chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath and, throat irritation.

Some people can smell ozone before the storm has even arrived. Before a thunderstorm rolls in, lightning can sometimes rip nitrogen and oxygen molecules in the environment to pieces. This can ultimate result in a small amount of ozone forming, which wind then carries down to ground level.

Breathing ozone can trigger a variety of health problems including chest pain, coughing, throat irritation, and congestion. It can worsen bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma. “Bad” ozone also can reduce lung function and inflame the linings of the lungs. Repeated exposure may permanently scar lung tissue.

The NIOSH recommended exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m3). According to NIOSH, Ozone levels of 5 ppm or higher are considered immediately dangerous to life or health.

o A standard of 70 ppb is below the level shown to cause adverse health effects in the clinical studies. o A standard of 70 ppb essentially eliminates exposures that have been shown to cause adverse health effects, protecting 99.5 percent of children from even single exposures to ozone at 70 ppb.
