New Worlds: Colder and Colder
December 17, 2017
When investigating atoms, scientists face a challenge – at room temperature, individual atoms in a gas have kinetic energy and dart about at high velocities. Temperature is, in essence, the measurement of the relative movement between atoms; thus the goal of getting the atoms to have small relative velocities involves cooling them to extremely low temperatures.

And so a new way to probe cosmic mysteries wins our top spot again this year.
