Caption: The 2D MOT system that delivers cold atoms to the experimental chamber. In the center is a glass chamber held in a vacuum between coils that create magnetic fields. The atoms pass into the experimental chamber through the tiny hole visible in the center of the yellow reflective surface. Credit: Or Dubkovsky.
