When Carl Wieman and Eric Cornell, both CU professors, developed a condensate that allows scientists to study the incredibly small world of quantum physics, they had no idea their discovery would lead to a Nobel Prize. But in 2001, they were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics, becoming the second and third Nobel Prize winners at CU-Boulder.
