Before life got in the way I used to follow this field as a science fan up until the early 90's.

Any good review articles for a general readership that can fill the gap in from early 90's till now.

I would like to see how a lot of that research progressed and
if any applications / devices came out of it.

What temperatures were achieved and were Bose Einstein condensed states ever achieved.

Has anyone made an undergrad laboratory magneto-optical trap?
