Scientists using China's Tiangong space station cooled a cloud of rubidium atoms to 9.7 trillionths of a degree above absolute zero, about four times colder than the 2021 record. The work was published in Science.
Researchers working on China's Tiangong space station reached a new record-low temperature for a cloud of atoms. The rubidium atoms were cooled to 9.7 trillionths of a degree above absolute zero, which is about four times colder than the previous record set in 2021. The microgravity environment on the station allows atoms to be held and cooled longer than on Earth. The results were published in the journal Science, according to New Atlas.
