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 absolute lowest temperature possible is -273.15 degrees Celsius. It is never possible to cool any object exactly to this temperature – one can only approach absolute zero. This is the third law of ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, scientists have filmed atoms performing an eternal quantum dance that never stops — even at absolute zero.

In a new publication, Professor José-María Martín-Olalla, from the Department of Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Seville, has described the direct link between the vanishing of specific ...

It’s a warm July day when I meet Fabian Kislat in his lab. Kislat, an experimental astrophysicist and a professor at the University of New Hampshire, is dressed for the summer weather: T-shirt, shorts ...

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 ...

Ah, the latest installment of "how many superheroes does it take to save (or utterly destroy) the universe" hits the shelves next Tuesday, June 25th, with the release of Absolute Power: Ground Zero #1 ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Under a tangled mess of pipes, tubes, gauges, ...

Join Ohio Wesleyan University's Department of Performing Arts for the first fully staged production of “Absolute Zero,” a developing musical that offers “a gleeful reclamation of the patriarchal and ...

The next free Wizards show is coming up in January 2024, when CU Physics Professor Paul Beale presents a program that family audiences absolutely love! CU Professor of Physics, award winning teacher ...
