  Carl E Wieman - The Fifth State of Matter
Carl Wieman was born on March 26, 1951, in Corvallis, Oregon.

 Coverage of Carl Wieman's talk
Last year, Carl E. Wieman, a Distinguished Professor at the University of Colorado in Boulder, won the Nobel Prize in physics for his work with BEC.
Wieman, with his co-discoverer of BEC, Eric Cornell of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, led a team of scientists in the late 1980s in experiments to achieve the extremely cold temperature -- the closest to absolute zero ever recorded.
Ironically, Wieman discovered that the very photons that make it possible for the atoms to slow down are also the photons that prevent the temperature from reaching absolute zero.

Wieman was awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize in physics for his landmark creation of the world’s first Bose-Einstein condensate, a new form of matter that is created when a laboratory apparatus is used to chill a group of atoms to just a few hundred billionths of a degree above absolute zero.
Wieman was the first physicist to achieve a new form of matter called the Bose-Einstein condensate, a discovery that won him the Nobel Prize in 2001.
