Ultracold Atoms Can Create Beautiful Ripples and Quantum Fireworks

If you aren't the type to watch a fireworks display in the sky, perhaps you might find an enjoyable alternative in Bose-Einstein condensates. A miniature fireworks display has been found to be produced by these ultracold atoms as researchers switched the magnetic field's direction in order to produce density ripples that created these firework-like jet emissions.
