    You can learn more about the work that led to Bill's Nobel Prize -- and the work of other NIST Nobel laureates -- on our website:

    At room temperature atoms and molecules in the air move about at breakneck speed. In order for them to be studied, they need to be slowed down or chilled. William Phillips developed a method to make this happen. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1997.
