Two electrically neutral rubidium atoms are trapped in the centre of the cavity.
The condensate, which is made from around 4000 cooled rubidium atoms, is trapped inside the beams by the same forces used to create optical tweezers, which can manipulate particles on a small scale.
To trap individual neutral atoms, the researchers first used a laser to cool a cloud of rubidium atoms to ultracold, near - absolute - zero temperatures, slowing the atoms down from their usual, high - speed trajectories.
In breaking this record, Eric Cornell and his colleagues in Boulder cooled rubidium atoms to 5 microkelvin by optical molasses, and then turned off the lasers while keeping the atoms trapped in a magnetic field.
«We catch hundreds of Rubidium atoms in a magnetic trap and cool them so that they form an ultracold Bose - Einstein condensate,» says Professor Jörg Schmiedmayer from the Institute for Atomic and Subatomic Physics at the Vienna University of Technology.
