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

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 ...

Temperature is typically thought of as the average energy of individual atoms or molecules within a given collection. For atoms of similar mass, this "kinetic temperature" would basically be their ...

Physicists in Germany have produced the coldest temperature ever recorded – a chilly 38 trillionths of a degree above absolute zero. The strange experiment involved dropping a quantum gas, and ...

Typical superconducting quantum circuits, such as qubits—basic processing units of a quantum computer, must be operated at very low temperatures, of a few 10s of millikelvin, or hundredths of a degree ...
