Scientists Reach The Coldest Temperature Ever
Показать описание
There is no upper limit to hot something can be. If you keep adding more energy in a fixed volume it will keep getting hotter and hotter. Even the early universe was Trillions of degrees hot.
However this can't be said about the cold. As we take heat away from something, it begins to get cold. But there is a limit to how much heat we can take and after a certain point, there is no heat left to take as there is no atomic motion left in the object and that is called Absolute zero temperature, -273.15 °C. It's almost impossible to reach the -273.15 °C mark because we can't take all the kinetic energy from atoms.
Scientists in Germany conducted an experiment. They took 100,000 rubidium atoms trapped in a vacuum and cooled them down to form Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) where all the atoms began acting like one big atom. Then scientists began switching a magnetic field until the atoms came to an almost complete standstill reaching the coldest temperature ever recorded. A chilly 38 trillionths of a degree above absolute zero.
