  • BEC) in Alkali Atoms Masatsugu Sei Suzuki Department of Physics, SUNY at Bimghamton (Date: January 24, 2012)
    Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in alkali atoms Masatsugu Sei Suzuki Department of Physics, SUNY at Bimghamton (Date: January 24, 2012) In 1925 Einstein predicted that at low temperatures particles in a gas could all reside in the same quantum state. This peculiar gaseous state, a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC), was produced in the laboratory for the first time in 1995, using the powerful laser-cooling methods developed in recent years. These condensates exhibit quantum phenomena on a large scale, and investigating them has become one of the most active areas of research in contemporary physics. _________________________________________________________________________ The first gaseous BEC was generated by Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman in 1995 at the University of Colorado at Boulder NIST-JILA lab, using a gas of Rb atoms cooled to 170 nK. For their achievements Cornell, Wieman, and Wolfgang Ketterle at MIT received the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics. In November 2010 the first photon BEC was observed. _________________________________________________________________________ Carl Wieman was born in Corvallis, Oregon in the United States and graduated from Corvallis High School. Wieman earned his B.S. in 1973 from MIT and his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1977; he was also awarded a Doctor of Science, honoris causa from the University of Chicago in 1997. He was awarded the Lorentz Medal in 1998. In 2001, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics, along with Eric Allin Cornell and Wolfgang Ketterle for fundamental studies of the Bose-Einstein condensate. In 2004, he was named United States Professor of the Year among all doctoral and research universities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Wieman Eric Allin Cornell (born December 19, 1961) is an American physicist who, along with Carl E.

    WHY NOT TRY a Scientific Approach to Science Education? By Carl Wieman he purpose of science education is no longer simply In short, we now need to make science education effective to train that tiny fraction of the population who will and relevant for a large and necessarily more diverse fraction of become the next generation of scientists. We need the population. a more scientifically literate populace to address What do I mean by an effective education in science? I be- the global challenges that humanity now faces and lieve a successful science education transforms how students that only science can explain and possibly mitigate, think, so that they can understand and use science like scientists Tsuch as global warming, as well as to make wise decisions, do. (See Figure 1). But is this kind of transformation really pos- informed by scientific understanding, about issues such as sible for a large fraction of the total population? genetic modification. Moreover, the modern economy is largely based on science and technology, and for that economy to thrive and for individuals within it to be successful, we need Figure 1.

    ¿Qué podemos hacer para lograr un aprendizaje significativo de la física? Michel Picquart Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Iztapalapa, Apdo. postal 55-534, Col. Vicentina, 09340 México DF, México. E-mail: [email protected] (Recibido el 9 de Octubre de 2007; aceptado el 22 de Diciembre de 2007) Resumen Con base en cómo llegan los estudiantes a la División de Ciencias Básicas e Ingeniería (CBI) de la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa (México, D. F.) y la necesidad que tenemos de formar buenos profesionales, proponemos un cambio en los cursos de física del Tronco General (TG). Este cambio incorpora la detección de las ideas previas de los alumnos y la puesta en marcha de estrategias didácticas específicas para lograr el cambio conceptual adecuado. Se sugiere, en particular, la resolución de problemas abiertos propuestos como pequeños proyectos de investigación para que los resuelvan en equipos. Se enfatiza también sobre la necesidad de una formación pedagógica del profesorado. Palabras clave: Ideas previas, problemas como investigación y trabajo en equipo, formación docente. Abstract On basis to how come the students to the CBI division of the UAM-I and the necessity to form good professionals, we propose a change in the introductory courses of physics. This change takes into account the student’s misconceptions detection and new didactic strategies. It is suggested the resolution of problems as investigation and collaborative work. We also insist on the necessity of a pedagogical formation of the professors. Keywords: Previous ideas, problems as investigation and work team, training teachers. PACS: 01.40.Fk, 01.40.gb, 01.40.J-.
