Scientists achieve record-breaking low temperature on China's space station, paving the way for new physics experiments
Phys.org ·
The Brief
- Researchers from China reported a new low-temperature record aboard the Tiangong space station.
- Matter behaves differently at extremely low temperatures, which makes these conditions useful for studying quantum physics and new states of matter.
- The source describes the work as paving the way for new physics experiments; the available excerpt is truncated and gives no further figures.
Why it matters
Reaching lower temperatures in orbit could open access to physics experiments that are hard to run on the ground, especially in quantum and low-temperature research.
