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, ...

The International Space Station (ISS) is slated to become the coldest spot in space as NASA's Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL) begins producing ultra-cold atoms. Called Bose-Einstein condensates, these ...

Right now, as I type this sentence, Earth’s Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the bright ball of light that is the Sun, and it’s cold here (relatively speaking). Humans have long recorded and ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Absolute zero–that’s zero degrees Kelvin, or -459.67 degrees ...

Physicists don’t tend to use universal language freely, so since Lord Kelvin dubbed the base measure of his temperature scale “absolute zero,” that should be a sign that there is reason for the ...

Some ‘cool’ new research conducted by a team of physicists has proven once and for all that it is impossible for us to cool something to absolute zero. Pushing the laws of nature to its physical limit ...

What is Absolute Zero, and does it really exist anywhere in the universe? Could we ever reach Absolute Zero in real life? There are all sorts of reasons to be curious about the limits of cold. Maybe ...

Tapio Simula receives funding from Australian Research Council (ARC). He is affiliated with American Physical Society (APS). He works for Monash University. The concept of temperature is intimately ...

When something is cooled to absolute zero (Kelvin), do the electrons and other sub-atomic particles stop moving? Or does "absolute zero" only mean that movement stops at the molecular level (as ...

Science is full of zeroes. Light has zero mass. Neutrons have zero charge. A mathematical point has zero length. Those zeroes might be unfamiliar, but they follow a consistent logic. All represent the ...
