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 ...

Nothing is colder than absolute zero, so it seems nonsensical to talk about negative temperature – but now there is a substance that must have just that. The revelation could shake up our ideas about ...

Right now, as I type this sentence, Earth’s Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the bright ball of light that is the Sun, and it’s cold here (relatively speaking). Humans have long recorded and ...

There’s a whole mirror world of negative temperatures reaching from minus infinity to absolute zero – now we’re plumbing those depths for real DEFINING a temperature scale is easy. Fire is hot, ice is ...
