DESCRIPTION:Ultracold atomic gases\, cooled to nanokelvin temperatures\, a
 re the coldest things in the universe. They are used with great success to
  study phenomena such as Bose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity. Tra
 ditionally they were produced in harmonic traps and were thus inhomogeneou
 s\, but now we can also create homogeneous gases in optical box traps\, ma
 de of sculpted laser light. This improves links with many-body theories an
 d other areas of physics\, and sometimes also allows qualitatively new exp
 eriments. I will illustrate this with some examples ranging from an underg
 raduate-level experimental surprise to our most recent studies of far-from
 -equilibrium quantum phenomena.
