Best Answer

Dewar's research pretty much ended with the outbreak of World War I. The Royal Institution laboratories where Dewar was working lost a number of staff to the war effort, both in fighting and scientific roles, and after the war, Dewar had little interest in restarting the serious research work which went on before the War. Shortages of scholars necessarily compounded the problems. His research during and after the war mainly involved investigating surface tension in soap bubbles, rather than further work into the properties of matter at low temperatures.

What temperature is classed as a low temperature?

Low temperature is a term of comparison. It is lower than some other temperature which we consider to be possibly a normal, or high temperature. Without context, we cannot state a specific temperature that we consider to be low. Low temperature physics concerns research in a temperature range of not more than a few Kelvins, or in other words, minus 270oCelsius or colder. It is now possible to obtain temperatures in the range of a thousandth of a Kelvin. That is the temperature range in which you can create a Bose-Einstein condensate, for example.
