Join physicist Trey Porto of the Joint Quantum Institute as he answers questions and more about the world of the ultra-cold.
Your fridge keeps your milk from spoiling and your freezer converts the water in your ice trays into ice cubes that make your summer drinks cold. If your fridge could keep getting colder, when it dipped to -109 degrees, the carbon dioxide inside of it would form into a frost of dry ice. At -362 F oxygen would freeze into solid oxygen ice. But what happens at temperatures colder than the most remote places in outer space? How could you cool something down to that ultimate degree?Â
Now in its third year, DC Science Caf_ is brought to you with support from DC Science Writers Association and encouragement from Busboys and Poets.
