Absolute zero is often thought to be the coldest temperature possible. But now researchers show they can achieve even lower temperatures for a strange realm of "negative temperatures."


some headings.


Bizarro negative temperatures
To comprehend the negative temperatures scientists have now devised, one might think of temperature as existing on a scale that is actually a loop, not linear.
.......

Wacky physics experiment

The temperatures we achieved are negative nanokelvin," Schneider told LiveScience


The scientists detailed their findings in the Jan. 4 issue of the journal Science.
