MIT physicist Daniel Kleppner explains how matter changes as it is reduced in temperature and nears -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit, or “absolute zero.” How do atoms change their behavior when nearing these temperatures? Though it is not theoretically possible to cool any substance to such a degree, scientists have made great advancements in achieving temperatures close to absolute zero, and were able to detect fascinating behavior patterns in the matter, including quantum effects such as superconductivity and superfluidity.
