Optical bench containing lasers and optical elements used to cool temperatures

An optical bench in the Will Lab at Columbia University containing a series of lasers and optical elements used in experiments to cool molecules to nanokelvin temperatures. Researchers in the lab created the first-ever Bose-Einstein condensate made from molecules, which was cooled to just 5 nanoKelvin, or about 459.66 degrees Fahrenheit, and stable for a strikingly long period of two seconds.
