They started by barraging their rubidium atoms with lasers, slowing them to a crawl (heat is really just the motion of atoms and molecules; slowing therefore equals cooling). Then they put the atoms in a magnetic "bottle" that allowed the faster-moving, more energetic atoms to escape; those left behind were cooler. Finally, in a leap of ingenuity that enabled this scientific team to outflank its rivals, the Boulder scientists rotated the magnetic field so that the few cold atoms that were leaking through a weak point in the bottle couldn't find this one escape route...
