Using cesium atoms cooled to near absolute zero in a Bose-Einstein condensate, researchers placed them in a laser-created grid and used magnetic fields to make atoms attract each other. The atoms formed two stable structures: concentrated at single points or distributed across multiple sites while acting as one unit, remaining stable for nearly half a second. This breakthrough enables new ways to control quantum matter, potentially leading to more stable quantum sensors and improved quantum information transport. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
