3 Scientists Win Nobel Physics Prize: “Three U.S.-based scientists shared the

2001 Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for creating a new state of

matter:” the Bose-Einstein condensate, ” an ultra-cold gas that could aid in developing smaller and faster

electronics.

The award went to Americans Eric A. Cornell, 39, of the National Institute

of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colo. and Carl E. Wieman, 50,

of the University of Colorado along with German scientist Wolfgang
