-- At super-low temperatures, atoms behave in surprising ways. 
-- NASA has never before created or observed this behavior in space. 
-- A Nobel Prize winner and other scientists will conduct experiments on this behavior using new technology. 
-- This technology might one day lead to improved sensors, quantum computers, and atomic clocks used in spacecraft navigation.
