Near absolute zero, atoms stop acting like particles and start behaving like waves. In this ultracold world, scientists can ...

The coldest and densest molecular gas clouds in the interstellar medium can have temperatures of 10 K (-505 °F/-263 °C), ...

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 ...

How do you find out what happens to physics near absolute zero (aka 0 kelvin), the temperature where particle motion virtually stops? Scientists at the University of Basel might have just the device ...

A change of models demystifies anomalous particle behavior at very low temperatures, supporting that the third law of thermodynamics cannot be violated. In theory, the laws of physics are absolute.

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 ...

Last week, physicists at the National Institute for Standards and Technology reported they'd cooled an object to a million times colder than room temperature. It was a record for the super-difficult ...

Scientists have worked hard to make things as cold as possible, and they have gotten down to 0.00000000004 K, but getting rid ...
