	The Nobel Prize in Physics 1997 - http://nobelprize.org/physics/laureates/1997/ This includes the press release of the Nobel Committee for the prize given to Steven Chu, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, and William D. Phillips, for development of methods to cool and trap atoms with laser light. For those wanting more scientific details, be sure to click the link for "Additional background material" under "Further Reading."
	NIST - Atomic Physics Division - Laser Cooling and Trapping Group - http://physics.nist.gov/Divisions/Div842/Gp4/group4.html This department of the National Institute of Standards and Technology studies the physics of laser cooling, electromagnetic trapping, and other radiative manipulation of neutral atoms and dielectric particles. Home of 1997 Nobel Prize winner William D. Phillips, whose team has cooled atoms to less than a millionth of a degree above absolute zero.
	BEC (Bose-Einstein Condensation) Homepage - http://www.colorado.edu/physics/2000/bec/index.html "A new form of matter at the coldest temperatures in the universe." Simplified, surprisingly clear explanation. Includes cartoon illustrations.
	What is absolute zero? - http://www.pa.msu.edu/~sciencet/ask_st/012992.html An answer from the Lansing State Journal in Michigan, January 29, 1992.
