Stopping Atoms

sciencedaily.com — "With atoms and molecules in a gas moving at thousands of kilometres per hour, physicists have long sought a way to slow them down to a few kilometres per hour to trap them."

    Is Digg's dupechecker not working? The previous submission was from *four* days ago: http://digg.com/general_sciences/Stopping_Atoms
  • inactive, on 11/15/2007, -0/+15Rebel against Kevin Rose!!!
  • suxmonkey, on 11/07/2007, -1/+11I guess he is just Digging his way through the archives today: http://digg.com/general_sciences/The_Physics_Behin ... and the original http://digg.com/general_sciences/The_Physics_Behin ...

  • tomboy501, on 11/07/2007, -0/+5Dupe check is broken...worse than ever lately. Maybe he'll take notice now, and put it on the priority list to fix.
  • saleem, on 11/01/2007, -0/+4We may be able to ruin the 100% success rate on his submitted stories
  • MonarchWastxD, on 11/15/2007, -1/+4What? You're a complete moron. Of course they can be stopped... it just means that they have no energy in them and they are at 0 kelvin (-273 celcius). It won't "rip apart space time" or some *****.
  • dtele, on 11/15/2007, -3/+2I dont think you can actually 'stop' atoms.
    At temperatures approaching absolute zero, atoms will slow down and start to do strange things, but I seriously doubt they can be stopped without ripping the fabric of space time (or some other bizare result).
    Interesting to see a pic of the coil.
  • dartmanx, on 10/18/2007, -4/+3Don't click bury... it will make him angry.
    You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
