Summary
| Description |
English: When the laser beams of a magneto-optical trap are not perfectly aligned, atoms can follow racetrack-like, stable orbits around the center of the trap. In the animation, the magnetic field is turned off and on, causing the release and capture of atoms in the trap. |
