    What are two examples of a Bose-Einstein Condensates?

    Two examples of materials containing Bose-Einstein condensates are superconductors and superfluids.

    Also, Bose-Einstein condensation takes place when atoms are cooled to near absolute zero. At this state, individual atoms lose their individual identities and behave as one entity.
    Two specific examples of BECs that have been created are the 2,000 rubidium atoms that were supercooled and behaved as one atom for 10 seconds (a potential superconductor) and supercooled liquid helium which loses all viscosity at below 2.2 Kelvins --- thus becoming a "superfluid".
