**Bose** can refer to two distinct concepts: 1. **Physics and Science**: - A term derived from Indian physicist **Satyendra Nath Bose** (1894-1974), who proposed statistical laws for indistinguishable particles. His work, particularly in collaboration with Albert Einstein, led to the concept of Bose-Einstein statistics and the description of bosons. - **Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)**: A state of matter that occurs when a set of atoms is cooled almost to absolute zero, causing them to overlap and form a single large atom. This phenomenon was inspired by Bose's statistical mechanics. 2. **Audio Technology**: - **Bose Corporation**: A company founded in 1964 known for its high-quality audio products, including headphones, home speaker systems, and earbuds. The company is renowned for its focus on acoustic physics and innovative sound technologies.
