 jajajayu rated 10 months ago- Ten whole seconds. Again, a moment, being a piece of eternity, lasts forever. For 10 seconds, perpetually? Same difference.
Or, the National Institute of Standards and Technology needs to recalibrate? Or needs a mechanic....

- Earlier this year, a team of physicists at Harvard used a BEC to directly convert energy and matter into each other.

- It only lasted a few seconds because they could only keep the bose einstein condensate in that "set up" for lack of a better word for that long. They also said it was the beginning, the first car did not go at 100 mph!
 Darch1138 rated 7 months ago- Shoddy science reporting like always...

- If it only lasts 10 seconds it's not exactly perpetual motion is it?

- Solid discovery, good work NIST =]

- I find the last sentence of the article to be more interesting than all the preceding words combined. Complete matter/energy conversion? bwuh?

- Bose-Einstein condensates are quite weird. Nice DailyTech-style short article, but I'd like to see how this effect could be exploited to make a lossless energy storage system.

- Interesting, but not really, as we already knew that we could achieve a frictionless environment.
Get back to me when we break the laws of thermodynamics and create a perpetual motion machine that sends out more energy than it brings in.

- From the page: "The National Institute of Standards and Technology, in conjunction with the University of Maryland's Joint Quantum Institute, created a short-lived "proof of concept" of perpetual motion."
