===Laser cooling===
{{Main|Laser cooling}}
A technique that has recent success is ''laser cooling''. This involves [[atom trapping]], a method where a number of atoms are confined in a specially shaped arrangement of [[electric field|electric]] and [[magnetic field]]s. Shining particular wavelengths of light at the ions or atoms slows them down, thus ''cooling'' them. As this process is continued, they all are slowed and have the same energy level, forming an unusual arrangement of matter known as a [[Bose–Einstein condensate]].
