A FLEET study of ultracold atomic gases - a billionth the temperature of outer space - has unlocked new, fundamental quantum effects.

The researchers at Swinburne University of Technology studied collective oscillations in ultracold atomic gases - identifying where quantum effects occur to 'break' symmetries predicted by classical physics.

They also observed the transition between two-dimensional (2D) behaviour and three-dimensional (3D) behaviour.

"Fundamental discoveries made from such observations will inform FLEET's search for electronic conduction without wasted dissipation of energy," explained study-author Professor Chris Vale.
