	Nobel laureate loses appeal on divorce - The Boston Globe
		Ketterle shared the $1 million Nobel Prize with two researchers in Colorado for discovering how to cool atoms to the brink of absolute zero and create a "Bose-Einstein condensate." The atoms form a cloud unlike anything usually seen in nature, a ghostly mass where all atoms appear to combine and move as one.
		But Ketterle, a German-born, tenured professor, said yesterday that the technological applications cited by Norfolk Probate and Family Court Judge Christina L. Harms in her 2002 divorce ruling are so far off in the future that he didn't even bother to patent his discovery.
		Wolfgang Ketterle earned $179,160 at MIT in 2001, compared with $7,317 earned by his former wife as a part-time teacher's aide, according to the appellate panel.

	MIT's Wolfgang Ketterle: New Marching Orders for Atoms
		n 1995, Wolfgang Ketterle astounded the quiet world of atomic physics with the announcement that his group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology had created Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC), the so-called "fifth state of matter" in which atoms are locked together in the lowest quantum state of the system.
		Barely two years later Ketterle was back on the front page with even more dramatic news: the demonstration of the world's first atom laser, a coherent beam of atoms in the same quantum state.
		Ketterle: In the first experiment on BEC we mainly showed that the gas condensed into an extremely cold form of matter—or, to be more precise, the gas had extremely small energy content.

	Rudimentary Atom Laser Created At MIT
		In a paper to be published in the 27 January issue of Physical Review Letters, Wolfgang Ketterle and his colleagues at MIT have created an "output coupler" which allows them to pluck a controlled fraction of atoms from a BEC of sodium atoms to produce a beam that falls in the direction of gravity.
		In the present work, Ketterle and his colleagues have created a technique for extracting a beam of atoms from the Bose-Einstein condensate and for verifying that their beam has properties directly analogous to an optical laser beam.
		According to Ketterle, the fluxes of atoms emerging from an atom laser are currently too small to lead to a practical nanofabrication scheme in which nanostructures could be mass produced.

	Physics Today December 2001
		Ketterle, having decided after a year of work on combustion diagnostics that he would prefer to do basic research, had accepted a postdoc in Pritchard's laboratory to learn the business of atom trapping and cooling.
		When Ketterle arrived at MIT in 1990, he wasn't focused on achieving a BEC: The phase-space densities for trapped alkali atoms were then more than six orders of magnitude away from those required for a BEC, whereas the hydrogen gases cooled by Kleppner, Greytak, and company were within a factor of ten.
		To save Ketterle from having to compete in the shadow of his mentor, Pritchard bowed out of the BEC project and turned his laboratory over to Ketterle so that the former postdoc could continue the quest.

		Ketterle said he was a little worried that the honor might mean he wouldn't be able to devote as much time to his research.
		Ketterle repeatedly deflected attention from himself, telling well-wishers that MIT deserved the credit for allowing him to come and giving him the facilities to do his research.
		Ketterle co-invented the Dark SPOT trap and combined laser cooling and evaporative cooling, which became key techniques to obtain Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute atomic gases.

	MIT physicists create new form of matter
		Observations of superfluids may help solve lingering questions about high-temperature superconductivity, which has widespread applications for magnets, sensors and energy-efficient transport of electricity, said Wolfgang Ketterle, a Nobel laureate who heads the MIT group and who is the John D. MacArthur Professor of Physics.
		The MIT team was able to view these superfluid vortices at extremely cold temperatures, when the fermionic gas was cooled to about 50 billionths of a degree Kelvin, very close to absolute zero (-273 degrees C or -459 degrees F).
		Ketterle's team members were MIT graduate students Zwierlein, Andre Schirotzek, and Christian Schunck, all of whom are members of the Center for Ultracold Atoms, as well as former graduate student Jamil Abo-Shaeer.
