NASA's Cold Atom Lab aboard the International Space Station has achieved temperatures just 100 nanoKelvin above absolute zero—making it one of the coldest known places in the universe. This ground breaking experiment allows scientists to observe quantum phenomena like Bose-Einstein condensates, where atoms behave as a single quantum entity. Discover how this chilling achievement is unlocking the mysteries of quantum physics and paving the way for revolutionary technologies. Now talking about even more ground breaking experiment, scientists at the University of Bremen's Centre of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM) achieved the coldest temperature ever recorded: a mere 38 picokelvins (0.000000000038 K) above absolute zero. This feat was accomplished by creating a Bose-Einstein condensate of rubidium atoms and utilizing a magnetic lens system during free fall in the Bremen Drop Tower, effectively slowing atomic motion to near standstill. This achievement brings researchers closer than ever to absolute zero, opening new avenues in quantum physics and our understanding of the universe's fundamental laws.
