Physicists using near-absolute-zero detectors have reached unprecedented sensitivity in the hunt for light dark matter. A ...

Researchers inch ever closer to, but never reach, the state of absolute zero temperature; it's a science that has some very cool (pun very much... Last week, physicists at the National Institute for ...

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.

Come join Paul Beale, CU Professor of Physics and award winning teacher, to learn about heat and temperature, from billions of degrees during the big bang all the way down to absolute zero! We will ...

The question Is there an opposite to absolute zero? seems innocent enough, right? Absolute zero is 0 on the Kelvin scale, or about minus 460°F. You can't get colder than that; it would be like trying ...

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 ...

Quantum mechanics, developed in the 1920s, has had an enormous impact in explaining how matter works. The elementary particles that make up different forms of matter -- such as electrons, protons, ...

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 ...
