Ultra-cold atoms (extra footage)

[z0tx]

How do they get the atoms to drop?

[MrCoonskin]

@z0tx From what I gathered from the video and what he said they have the atoms being held up by Laser and Magnetic fields. That is also how they get so close to 0K. When they turn the magnets and lasers off the atoms will fall and they can see that happen.

@z0tx Switch off a magnetic field

Right, now we have to find some use for a handful of atoms at 100 μK.

[cheguevaraisgod]

@8DX to fully understand and witness the characteristics of quantum mechanics. watch the original video.

[8DX]

@cheguevaraisgod I watched the video .. 3 months ago man. I was jk..

[cheguevaraisgod]

@8DX a joke, fine. But what you said has everything to do with the ignorance of the world when it comes to the finer points of physics.

[8DX]

@cheguevaraisgod Get a life I'd say. What I said? So you think I thought I could really walk about with a handful of atoms at 100 μK? I fail to see how my comment gives you any idea of my knowledge (or lack of it) on "the finer points of physics".

Sheesh. I should've just commented on how my nuts were also flying all over the place while watching this video.

[cheguevaraisgod]

@8DX hahaha good point. hahaha you winn hahaha. sorry guess was just feelin like a troll

[Garg221]

great video!!!

[Moondye7]

Awesome :)

and also he sounds just like my English teacher (in Germany)

[pHzerodotcom]

Generic nuts joke here!

[jackshay01]

that's damn cold

[andrewtheman19]

lol his nuts fell

[RaikouTatsu]

"and while it was dropping down it actually became bigger, just like our nuts..."

I couldn't resist ; )

[rjhrjh3]

100 micro Kelvin = 0.0001K. I wonder how they got them to that state?

His nuts are made of steel. lol.

[myrmecophilous]

check the other video; they shine lasers on them to cool them.

[rjhrjh3]

Thanks. Just watched it. Now where are my eyes?

[adrian20001]

As cold as my mother in law, amazing!

[PenguinDood]

Very very very interesting!

[solomsolomol]

wow , pretty neat !

[SAOSIN987]

lol he droped his nuts

[ThatGuyFromAustria]

100µ above absolut zero...

...

wow

[XTwina]

nice idea :D

[Dharok60]

wow momba
