Abstract
Three-dimensional trapping of neutral atoms in a combined gravito-magnetic potential is reported. Clouds of cold rubidium atoms in different hyperfine states of the ground level were trapped with a lifetime of 4.5 s. Confinement exclusively occurred as a combination of the static magnetic force and the gravitational force.
