1995 Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC)

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Probably someone should add a mention for the 1995 molecule of the year. The Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC). Apparently this was a transition year between a tradition of awarding it for actual molecules and the new Breakthrough of the Year designation.

The front matter includes the phrase, "The choice of the BEC broadens the scope of the selection process: The BEC is not a molecule"

Proposed change of list to sortable table

Latest comment: 1 day ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I'm not sure changing to a table would be any better. I don't see anything to sort on except date which it is already sorted on. Looks fine as a list to me. RJFJR (talk) 21:46, 30 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
