Physics is COOL! Molecules chilled to coldest temperature ever recorded at 2.5 thousandths of a degree above absolute zero Scientists at Yale University have created the world's coldest molecules Based in Connecticut the experiment chilled them to almost absolute zero It is the coldest temperature ever recorded for any molecule The physicists used a laser system to trap the molecules and cool them And it could prompt new research into areas such as quantum chemistry

Physicists have succeeded in chilling molecules to the coldest temperature ever reported. The experiment lowered the temperature of selected molecules to 2.5 thousands of a degree above absolute zero. And the result could prompt new research in areas ranging from quantum chemistry to tests of the most basic theories in particle physics.

"2.5 thousandths of a degree above absolute zero"

But still 1 million degrees above HHT - Hillary Heart Temperature.

Physics? Isn’t that chemistry?

What did the physics professor have for lunch?
Fission and chips
I do know chemistry jokes, but they’re boron.

[Steely Tom]

Bose-Einstein Condensate researchers have gotten much lower than that.

[babygene]

“2.5 thousands”

Shouldn’t it be 2.5 thousandth?

[Slyfox]

Oh, Really?

[GeronL]

chemistry on an atomic level maybe. lol

And in the meantime, ISIS continues to behead people.

And they are beheading a LOT. I saw a website last night that was freakin’ insane, they have the heads piled up over there like bowling balls, so many people you can’t believe it, totally reminiscent of the Nazis and the Holocaust, and meanwhile we have an idiot in the White house who thinks golf is the most important thing in the world, a governor in California whose #1 priority is getting illegals to invade, and liberals whose idea of a holocaust is a cop who shot a robber.

Well put.

This is not the coldest temperature ever. In 1995, the guys that created the Bose-Einstein condensate (yes, it took 70 years to prove them right) got temperatures down to 200 nano-Kelvin, which is 2*10^-7 degrees C above absolute zero. They got the 1997 Nobel Prize in physics for it. There’s been experiments since that have gotten even colder. 2.5 thousandths above absolute zero is nothing compared to that.

This reminds me, I need to go to the store and get
some more quantum Freezer Bags.

Bose-Einstein condensates are composed of single atoms ... these guys are working with molecules.
