i need to know what exactly they are, where they are found and such.

Bose-Einstein Condensate
5th state of matter. It only occurs at very low temperatures (very near absolute zero).
At that temperature all the atoms of a substance 'condense' to form a 'super atom'. The super atom will be roughly the size of single atom (so it would be invisible) but it will have the mass of all the atoms combined.
So if you took a 10kg brick at brought it's temperature to close to 0K, the brick would disappear (become a super atom) but the atom would weigh 10kg.
Some scientist speculate that black holes are actually form a Bose-Einstein condensate. Super small...but super massive.
Very Neat!!!

Plasma is extremely hot, electrically charged matter. All I know about bose-einstein is that it has to do with the predictable distribution of particles in the crossing of energy states.
Plasma is formed from lightning, stars
