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 temperature of absolute zero is 459.67 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, the lowest temperature possible. It is the temperature at which no molecular motion exists and it represents the total absence ...

Absolute zero is often thought to be the coldest temperature possible. But now researchers show they can achieve even lower temperatures for a strange realm of "negative temperatures." Oddly, another ...

Scientists have long been intrigued by the physics near absolute zero — the temperature 0° Kelvin, or -273.15°C, where particles reach the lowest possible amount of movement — ever since this limit ...

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, ...

The temperature of a substance, whether solid, liquid, gas or plasma, is essentially related to the speed at which its particles are moving in relation to each other. There is an upper limit on speed ...

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 ...

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 ...

Absolute zero refers to zero degrees Kelvin, which corresponds to -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit. At that threshold, particles—which vibrate with greater kinetic energy the hotter they become—come to a ...

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 ...

The strange behaviour of a magnet near absolute zero temperature provides the first direct evidence that some quantum phase transitions proceed very differently than the conventional phase transitions ...
