Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) -- the existence of which was predicted by Albert Einstein and Indian mathematician Satyendra Nath Bose almost a century ago -- are formed when atoms of certain elements are cooled to near absolute zero (0 Kelvin, minus 273.15 Celsius). Science Agence France-Presse Updated: June 11, 2020 04:14 pm IST Paris:  Scientists have observed the fifth state of matter in space for the first time, offering unprecedented insight that could help solve some of the quantum universe's most intractable conundrums, research showed Thursday. Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) -- the existence of which was predicted by Albert Einstein and Indian mathematician Satyendra Nath Bose almost a century ago -- are formed when atoms of certain elements are cooled to near absolute zero (0 Kelvin, minus 273.15 Celsius). At this point, the atoms become a single entity with quantum properties, wherein each particle also functions as a wave of matter. BECs straddle the line between th...

Northwestern Medicine in Chicago said the recipient is a woman in her 20s who would not have survived without the transplant. Indians Abroad Press Trust of India Updated: June 11, 2020 07:55 pm IST Chicago:  Surgeons led by an Indian-origin doctor have given a new set of lungs to a young woman with severe lung damage from the coronavirus, a surgery believed to be the first of its kind in the US since the pandemic began. Northwestern Medicine in Chicago said the recipient is the woman in her 20s who would not have survived without the transplant. She is in intensive care and recovering from the operation after being on lung and heart assistance devices for two months, The Washington Post reported. Ankit Bharat , chief of thoracic surgery and surgical director of Northwestern's lung transplant programme, said organ transplantation may become more frequent for victims of the most severe forms of COVID-19. "This is one of the toughest transplants I've done," he said. ...
