Near Zero the Physics of Low Temperature
Absolute Zero (-273.15 degrees Centigrade) is a state that can never be reached. Nevertheless in cooling things close to Absolute Zero the modern physicist learns much about the nature of matter and energy. Within a few degrees of Absolute Zero resistance vanishes, helium becomes a liquid, and...

Absolute Zero (-273.15 degrees Centigrade) is a state that can never be reached. Nevertheless in cooling things close to Absolute Zero the modern physicist learns much about the nature of matter and energy. Within a few degrees of Absolute Zero resistance vanishes, helium becomes a liquid, and atomic activity falls into a sort of super-hibernation. NEAR ZERO is an engaging
