Caption
UChicago researchers applied a magnetic field to a Bose-Einstein condensate, which jostled the atoms, and they began to collide -- sending some flying out of the condensate. But rather than a uniform field of random ejections, they saw bright jets of atoms shooting together from the rim of the disk, like miniature fireworks.
