This breakthrough represents a significant advancement in quantum physics by achieving a new record low temperature for atomic clouds in a microgravity environment. The ability to maintain these ultra-cold states longer allows scientists to observe delicate quantum phenomena with unprecedented stability, advancing fundamental research into quantum mechanics.
China sets world record for coldest temperature aboard space station
BEIJING, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- Chinese scientists have set a new record for the coldest temperature ever achieved by humans, cooling a cloud of rubidium atoms to 9.7 picokelvin, and keeping it stable for observation for seven seconds. The result, announced at a briefing on China's space station program by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), marks a major…
