  We review recent developments in the use of magnetic lattices as a
complementary tool to optical lattices for trapping periodic arrays of
ultracold atoms and degenerate quantum gases. Recent advances include the
realisation of Bose-Einstein condensation in multiple sites of a magnetic
lattice of one-dimensional microtraps, the trapping of ultracold atoms in
square and triangular magnetic lattices, and the fabrication of magnetic
lattice structures with sub-micron period suitable for quantum tunnelling
experiments. Finally, we describe a proposal to utilise long-range interacting
Rydberg atoms in a large spacing magnetic lattice to create interactions
between atoms on neighbouring sites.
