Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a new technique that allows them to use only laser light to cool a thin layer of skin to near-zero temperatures. Such supercooled membranes can be used as sophisticated sensors. In the Basel experiment, the laser beam is directed at the membrane (square in the middle). Using
