The first Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) was first created by Eric Cornell, Carl Wieman, Mike Anderson, Jason Ensher, and Michael Matthews on June 5, 1995 in JILA at the University of Colorado Boulder ...

In a spinor-dipolar Bose–Einstein condensate of europium atoms, near-zero magnetic fields allow dipole–dipole interactions to drive spin relaxation, producing circulating flow in the quantum fluid.
