For the first time, atoms from part of the periodic table called group 13 have been cooled to temperatures near absolute zero. These ultracold atoms will provide a rich physical system for studying ...

A material cooled near absolute zero produced an electrical signal that physics said should not exist, revealing a new kind ...

Absolute zero is the lowest theoretical temperature, which scientists have defined as minus 459.67 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 273.15 degrees Celsius). That's even colder than outer space. So far, ...

In August 2021, a German research team announced that they had succeeded in an experiment to cool a substance to '38 picokelvin (38 degrees 1 trillion)', which is very close to -273.15 degrees Celsius ...

China has achieved a breakthrough in self-developed refrigeration equipment - a high-end scientific device that can provide an environment of near absolute zero without using liquid helium - which ...

100 billionths of a degree above absolute zero. That's -273 degrees below zero Celcius. That's cold - and that the temperature a group of physicists in Canberra have managed to achieve. John Close: ...

How would you go about determining absolute zero? Intuitively, it seems like you’d need some complicated physics setup with lasers and maybe some liquid helium. But as it turns out, all you need is ...
