On this date in 1961, Rudolf Grimm, who led one of the projects that created the first Bose-Einstein condensate of molecules, was born in Mannheim, West Germany. In 2002 the team he was working with at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, created a Bose-Einstein condensate from cesium atoms for the first time. The next year they achieved the same thing with molecules and the year after that they created a Fermionic condensate, which is a superfluidic state of fermions, where a Bose-Einstein condensate is a superfluidic state of bosons.
