They do indeed.

In this case, "sub-kelvin" refers to temperatures below one degree kelvin (1K), which we then refer to as the "milli-kelvin" range.

Other types of low temperature experiments can go into the micro-kelvin, or even nano-kelvin, range. For our purposes, though, cryostats reaching about five or six milli-kelvin are sufficient for our work.
