Magneto-optical trap

A magneto-optical trap uses magnetic fields and laser beams to capture and compress a cloud of atoms and cool it down to form a Bose-Einstein condensate

Magneto-optical trap

A magneto-optical trap uses laser light and magnetic fields to cool and spatially confine atoms. This technique is used to research ultracold atoms and quantum phenomena.
