Illuminating zero: descending toward the coldest state of matter

Article Abstract:

Researchers have used laser and evaporative cooling to produce Bose condensation of hydrogen at 30 millionths of a degree above absolute zero, or at 30 microkelvins. Physicists also have produced a gas colder than 3,000 microkelvins.
