Exploiting a species-selective trapping potential, we are able to control the entropy of one target gas in presence of a second auxiliary gas. With this method, we drive the ...<br/><img src="http://prola.aps.org/graphics/prlsugg30x30.gif" width="30" height="30" alt="PRL Editors' Suggestion"/><br/>[Phys. Rev.
