What is Bose-Einstein condensate? On this explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice explore exotic states of matter and condensed matter physics.

Is there a state beyond solid? Learn about phase changes, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and the quantum realm. Are all particles also waves? What happens when the temperature gets near zero kelvin? Discover supersolids, superfluids, and superconductivity. Plus, how do particle accelerators work? We hope this explainer ends up being super-educational.
