Atoms
 Websites presented in alphabetical order The Atoms Family 
 "This resource contains educational activities about energy concepts, the power of the sun, energy conservation, energy transformation, electricity and fossil fuels being presented by famous gothic horror characters." The activities are variously designed for students from grades K to 12. http://www.miamisci.org/af/sln/ Topics: Energy, Physics, Science, Science, Technology Last updated Jun 23, 2009 Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC)
This tutorial explains what Bose-Einstein condensation is (at incredibly low temperatures, atoms "lose their individual identities and coalesce into a single blob"), how it is formed, and why it might be important in the future. Includes information about laser cooling and the creation of "optical molasses," the processes of magnetic trapping and evaporative cooling, and the characteristics of the condensate. Includes animations. From the Physics Department at the University of Colorado at Boulder. http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/bec/ Topics: Science, Science, Weather Last updated Feb 11, 2004 How MRI Works
This site provides a basic explanation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with information about magnetic intensity, magnets, atoms, radio frequency (RF), visualization, and related topics. Also covers the advantages and disadvantages of MRI. From HowStuffWorks. http://www.howstuffworks.com/mri.htm Topics: Health, Health, Science, Science Last updated Oct 6, 2003 IAEA.org: International Atomic Energy Agency
