Examples
“Physicists at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland have proposed a recipe for turning ultracold “boson” atoms — the ingredients of Bose-Einstein condensates — into a “supersolid,” an exotic state of matter that behaves simultaneously as a solid and a friction-free superfluid.”
“A new method has been developed to directly and precisely measure a quantum property of individual atoms -- the phase shifts that result when they collide at ultracold temperatures -- in a way that is independent of the accuracy-limiting density of the atoms.”
“It is pretty easy to do a poll perhaps not well..., it is pretty hard to to ultracold STM of atomic junctions.”

“At that time the quantum physics of ultracold atoms had become an important focus of our research.”
“Optimizing Science Education and the Myth of a Necessary 'Super Teacher' by Carl Wieman an educator who also happens to have won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2001 for creating a new ultracold state of matter, the so-called Bose-Einstein condensate”
“The record-breaking lows were among the latest feats of ultracold physics, the laboratory study of matter at temperatures so mind-bogglingly frigid that atoms and even light itself behave in highly unusual ways.”
“Physicists at JILA have performed the first-ever precision measurements using ultracold molecules, in work that may help solve a long-standing scientific mystery -- whether so-called constants of nature have changed since the dawn of the universe.”
“It was the pipe that delivered the ultracold liquid helium to the magnets.”
“This wave of matter will keep going and enter another nearby ultracold condensate.”
“Two years later, she brought light to a complete halt in a cloud of ultracold atoms.”
