A potential realization necessitates systems with low-frequency dynamics at an optimal mass scale, for which the microgram-to-milligram range is a strong contender. Here, after refining a figure-of-merit for the problem, we present a 1-milligram torsional pendulum operating at 18 Hz. We demonstrate laser cooling its motion from room temperature to 240~microkelvins, surpassing by over 20-fold the coldest motions attained for oscillators ranging from micrograms to kilograms. We quantify and contrast the utility of the current approach with other platforms. The achieved performance and large improvement potential highlight milligram-scale torsional pendulums as a powerful platform for precision measurements relevant to future studies at the quantum-gravity interface.","lang":"eng"}],"day":"22","author":[{"orcid":"0000-0003-0582-2946","full_name":"Agafonova, Sofya","last_name":"Agafonova","id":"09501ff6-dca7-11ea-a8ae-b3e0b9166e80","first_name":"Sofya"}],"status":"public","oa":1,"has_accepted_license":"1","month":"12","corr_author":"1","date_updated":"2025-12-22T14:04:51Z","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"used_in_publication","status":"for_moderation","id":"20840"}]},"oa_version":"None","contributor":[{"first_name":"Pere","last_name":"Rosello"},{"last_name":"Mekonnen","first_name":"Manuel"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-2031-204X","contributor_type":"supervisor","id":"4C02D85E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Onur","last_name":"Hosten"}],"publisher":"Institute of Science and Technology Austria","type":"research_data","citation":{"apa":"Agafonova, S.
