Answer
Eric Cornell was 33 years old when he helped synthesize the first Bose–Einstein condensate. He worked with Carl Wieman to create the condensate, which is a state of matter that is made up of atoms that are all in the same quantum state. The condensate was created by cooling a gas of rubidium atoms to a temperature of 170 nanokelvin, which is just a few degrees above absolute zero.
