Temperature for Quantum gas drops below absolute zero

[bobito]

The quantum gas created by the physicists could reach temperatures below the absolute zero. This saw a new window for future inventions.

The gas that composed mainly of potassium atoms were held in a lattice arrangement using a combination of lasers and magnetic fields. And by tweaking the magnetic fields, atoms are forced to attract than repel one another and reveal the sub-absolute zero properties of the gas. This suddenly shifts the atoms from their most stable, lowest-energy state to the highest possible energy state, before they can react as explained by Ulrich Schneider of the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich.

This will indeed present new ways of future innovations. The whole idea is interesting.
