A new specimen holder gives scientists more control over ultra-cold temperatures, enabling the study of how materials acquire ...

One of the most basic fundamental laws of nature on which our Universe functions has finally been solved. It also corrects an ...

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 ...

Scientists invent a new device that aims to solve thermal interference from electronic components — one of the biggest ...

Seeing its primary use in the United States while the majority of other countries use the Celsius scale, the Fahrenheit scale ...

A key objective of ongoing research rooted in molecular physics is to understand and precisely control chemical reactions at very low temperatures. At low temperatures, the chemical reactions between ...

How would you go about determining absolute zero? Intuitively, it seems like you’d need some complicated physics setup with lasers and maybe some liquid helium. But as it turns out, all you need is ...

Researchers have engineered string-like resonators capable of vibrating longer at ambient temperature than any previously known solid-state object -- approaching what is currently only achievable near ...

The LIGO gravitational wave observatory in the United States is so sensitive to vibrations it can detect the tiny ripples in space-time called gravitational waves. These waves are caused by colliding ...
