Scientists Create a Thermometer to Measure Temperatures Below 0 Kelvin?

There is NO temperature at all below 0 (zero) Kelvin, because that is the ABSOLUTE zero point, absolute zero, the point at which there is an total absence of all thermal energy. Energy can be negative, the same as mass and eg. volume of matter.


What Does the k mean in melting point of elements?

"K" is short for "Kelvin" - a temperature scale in degrees the same size as Celsius, but whose "0" degrees point is not freezing, but absolute zero - no heat, at all. The Kelvin scale is handy for scientists because there are no "below zero" or negative degrees. This makes things a lot easier when making scientific calculations. The term was taken from "Lord Kelvin". His name was William Thompson, and he was a 19th century physicist. His english title was First Baron of (family) Kelvin, or simply, "Lord Kelvin".


What is the temperature at which all molecular motion stops?

This is called absolute zero. The temperature is 0 Kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius.


Molecular motion stop at 0 degrees?

At 0 degrees Kelvin (absolute zero), molecular motion ceases and particles no longer have kinetic energy to move. At this temperature, atoms are at their lowest energy state and are not vibrating or moving.


If kelvin absolute zero is -273 what substance is that cold?

"Absolute zero" (Zero Kelvin) is a theoretical temperature, at which all atomic motion stops. This temperature can't be reached in practice, but we can get very close. Laboratories on Earth have reached temperatures of less than a microKelvin (millionth of Kelvin, or millionth of a degree from absolute zero). In outer space, it usually doesn't get much colder than about 3 Kelvin, because of a background radiation equivalent to that temperature.

What is below zero?

Below zero refers to a temperature that is lower than zero degrees on the Celsius or Fahrenheit scale. It indicates a colder temperature where water freezes and is commonly associated with winter weather.
