Abstract
We discuss recent developments in our understanding of matter, broadly construed, and their implications for contemporary research in fundamental physics.

A Bose-Einstein condensate was produced in a vapor of rubidium-87 atoms that was confined by magnetic fields and evaporatively cooled and exhibited a nonthermal, anisotropic velocity distribution expected of the minimum-energy quantum state of the magnetic trap in contrast to the isotropic, thermal velocity distribution observed in the broad uncondensed fraction.

Evidence for Bose-Einstein condensation of a gas of spin-polarized {sup 7}Li atoms is reported, and phase-space densities consistent with quantum degeneracy are measured for temperatures in the range of 100 to 400 nK.

Superconductivity in the simple hexagonal phase of silicon is predicted on the basis of an electron-phonon-coupling calculation and measured experimentally up to a pressure of 25 GPa in a Bridgman-type opposed-anvil device.

Findings show that several of the gels formed from novel organic gelators containing a cholesterol tethered to squaraine dyes or trans-stilbene derivatives are composed of similarly appearing fibrous structures visible at the nano-, micro-, and macroscale.

Salivary measurements of E2 and progesterone can be used as noninvasive methods for assessment of ovarian function and the sensitivity and precision of the salivary E2 assay make it comparable with assays of serum E2 for assessing changes in hormone levels.

High-temperature superconductors are believed to belong to class 4, which has gapless fermionic quasiparticles with a "relativistic" spectrum close to gap nodes, which allows application of ideas developed for superfluid 3He-A.
