Sub-zero temps?

The lowest temperature possible is 0 Kelvin, but extremely low temperatures have been achieved using laser and evaporative cooling. MIT holds the current record at 450 pK. Sub-zero temperature research has been important in understanding physics and chemistry, and has helped with refrigeration. The lowest possible temperature is 0 Kelvin (-459.67 °F, -273.15 °C), abbreviated […]

Extremely high temps?

Earth’s temperature ranges from -89°C to 58°C, while the Sun’s surface temperature is 5780K. Iron melts at 1811K, and the Earth’s molten core is 5650K. Temperatures above 1GK are reserved for special phenomena in the universe, such as supernovae, and the estimated temperature of the universe after the Big Bang is 1030K. On Earth, we’re […]
