Sisyphean work for polar molecules https://www.mpg.de/6658055/optoelectrical-sisyphus-cooling
Optoelectrical Sisyphus cooling of polar molecules reveals the potential to investigate molecular gases in the realm of nanokelvins, i.e. near absolute zero. The cooling developed by a group of researchers headed by G. Rempe at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics could be useful for quantum information processing, as a quantum simulator, as well as for the physics of many-body systems, such as the preparation of Bose-Einstein condensates.
