minus-squaremacarthur_park@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 months agoIt’s already been published. But it’s superconducting at 10 K. This is a new high temperature record, but pretty far from room temperature.
minus-squarepete_the_cat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-211 months agoYeah the headline makes you think it’s even within “normal” temperatures, and then you see that it’s like 10°C below above Absolute Zero.
minus-squareHerrBeter@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 months agoNitpicky but it’s above absolute zero
minus-squareCheezyWeezle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 months agoEven if it was somehow 10° below absolute zero, it would still be 10° above absolute zero
minus-squareGiveMemes@jlai.lulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·edit-211 months agoI thought negative Kelvin were sometimes used to describe very very high temperatures but I could be wrong. Thanks for the downvotes y’all, enjoy being wrong: " Negative absolute temperatures (or negative Kelvin temperatures) are hotter than all positive temperatures - even hotter than infinite temperature."
