 | | Hulet group publication recently ranked by Science Watch as one of the top 10 "Red-Hot" research papers of 2006. Adrian Cho recently recapped the history of degenerate Fermi-gas experiments in Science magazine, including coverage of the spin-imbalance experiments at our group and giving an outlook on future prospects in the field. |

 | | Superconductors form when two electrons, one spin-up and one spin-down, pair up. What happens when there are more spin-up particles than there are spin-down particles? Click here to find out. See Partridge et al. in Science. |

 | | A Bose-Einstein condensate of fermionic atom pairs has been created. The nature of the pairs has been investigated from the BEC to the BCS regions of a Feschbach resonance using optical molecular spectroscopy. See Partridge et al. in PRL. |

 | | Bosonic molecules have been created from fermionic atoms of lithium 6 through an adiabatic sweep through a Feshbach resonance. See Strecker et al. in PRL. |
| | | |
 | | Bright solitons, composed of Bose-Einstein Condensates of lithium 7, have been observed in a single-beam optical trap. Repulsive interactions between neighboring solitons are inferred from their motion in the trap. See Strecker et al. in Nature. |

 | | Dual quantum degeneracy has been achieved in a mixture of trapped ultra-cold bosons and fermions (7lithium and 6lithium, respectively). See Truscott et al. in Science Magazine. See also Astronomy Picture of the Day. |
