(Nanowerk News) What is normal to most people in winter has so far been impossible in physics: a minus temperature. On the Celsius scale minus temperatures are only surprising in summer. On the ...

The Kelvin scale of temperature is the generally used in science, particularly in the physical sciences. The Celsius scale is still used a in many areas of physical science, but the Kelvin that is the ...

IN NATURE of July 19 a review entitled “Discursive Meteorology”, meaning as I think ‘discursive physics’, asks a question to which I ought if possible to find an answer. The reviewer writes: “Some of ...

IN a recent communication 1 Groves and Lielmezs express the absolute temperature scale in a form symmetrical about the arbitrary zero, with the absolutely highest and lowest temperatures placed at + ∞ ...

Absolute zero is the temperature (-273.15C) at which all motion in matter stops and is thought to be unreachable. But recent experiments using ultracold atoms have measured temperatures that are, in ...

Physicists don’t tend to use universal language freely, so since Lord Kelvin dubbed the base measure of his temperature scale “absolute zero,” that should be a sign that there is reason for the ...

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 ...

Tapio Simula receives funding from Australian Research Council (ARC). He is affiliated with American Physical Society (APS). He works for Monash University. The concept of temperature is intimately ...

Nothing is colder than absolute zero, so it seems nonsensical to talk about negative temperature – but now there is a substance that must have just that. The revelation could shake up our ideas about ...
