When Cornell and fellow physicists at the JILA laboratory (formerly the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics) in Boulder, Colorado, announced their achievement in Science last week, their colleagues around the world were quick to cheer. "The term Holy Grail seems quite appropriate, given the singular importance of this discovery," wrote Oxford physicist Keith Burnett in a commentary that accompanied the report...
