We have observed Bose-Einstein condensation of molecules. When a spin mixture
of fermionic Li-6 atoms was evaporatively cooled in an optical dipole trap near
a Feshbach resonance, the atomic gas was converted into Li_2 molecules. Below
600 nK, a Bose-Einstein condensate of up to 900,000 molecules was identified by
the sudden onset of a bimodal density distribution. This condensate realizes
the limit of tightly bound fermion pairs in the crossover between BCS
superfluidity and Bose-Einstein condensation.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
