Ananth Chikkatur, left, points to the science chamber, in which the source was made. Yong-Il Shin points to the production chamber where the BEC'swere produced, and then transferred to the science chamber (32 cm away) using optical tweezers.

Artist's impression of the hottest tango in the universe--a torus formed from the debris of a star spins around a rotating black hole. The black hole leads the torus around, feeding it energy which the torus radiates away as unseen gravitational waves. At the same time, jets of energy are released along the black hole's axis of rotation and may later be detected by satellites as gamma-ray bursts.
