BEC in popular media

References to Bose Einstein Condensates in popular media

I am giving a general talk on BEC's (I am doing my PhD in the field), i am looking for any references to them in popular media, movies and tv shows and the like (but not science shows).

So far I know about the reference in Numb3rs and The Big Bang theory, does anybody know of any others?

Blind Lake is a novel. It's an entertaining science fiction. Loads of stuff about BECs.

The novels Spin State and Spin Control use them.

Great suggestions, i was looking more for videos though, something i can play to break it up a bit

I'm pretty sure I've come across that term in xkcd before, but can't find the specific strip. I might be wrong, though.
