Wieman pointed toward a successful method: laser cooling of alkali atoms in a so-called magneto-optical atom trap and then continued reduction of speed through evaporative cooling, which is a way of systematically getting rid of the fastest atoms.

"Our ability to control the optical and magnetic properties by introducing an atom in a nanoparticle and then fabricating microstructures using organic polymers or self-organized structures gives us the opportunity to make a new class of very efficient phosphors (for light, displays, biotagging etc.), magneto-optical (for magnetic memories and other sensors), lasers for fiber optical communicators and eventually optical computers," Bhargava said.
