Is it possible for a molecule like water to exist in BEC form?
Yes, it is possible for water to exist in BEC form under certain conditions.
A Bose-Einstein Condensate is a state of matter where a large number of bosons (particles with integer spin) occupy the lowest energy state, causing the particles to behave as one collective entity.
In order for water to form a BEC, it would need to be cooled to extremely low temperatures, close to absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius). It would also need to be confined in a small space and have a high density.
No, water has not been observed in BEC form in its pure form. However, it has been observed in a mixture with other substances, such as sodium atoms.
The potential applications of water in BEC form are still being studied, but some possible uses include creating superfluids for more efficient energy transfer and developing new technologies for quantum computing and sensing.
