The conquest of cold opens with experiments in the 1600s that asked what heat and cold are and whether they are different aspects of the same phenomenon. Shows how the experiments that settled those questions helped stoke the Industrial Revolution. The race for absolute zero dramatizes the rivalry between Scottish researcher James Dewar and Dutch physicist Heike Onnes, who plunged cold science to the forbidding realm at which oxygen and then hydrogen turn into liquids. Shows how the quest continues today as scientists pioneer super-fast computing near absolute zero--the ultimate chill of -459.67° F, where atoms slow to a virtual standstill. 505 00 $t The race for absolute zero. $g The holy grail ; A temperature cascade ; Superconductivity ; A new state of matter ; Applications. $t The race for absolute zero. $g The holy grail ; A temperature cascade ; Superconductivity ; A new state of matter ; Applications. 521 8 $a Not rated. 650 0 $a Low temperature research. 650 0 $a Low temperatures. 650 0 $a Cold. 650 8 $a Low temperature research. **1st sh only** 650 8 $a Low temperatures. 650 8 $a Cold. 655 0 $a Science television programs. 655 0 $a Documentary television programs. 655 0 $a Television adaptations. 655 0 $a Nonfiction television programs. 655 0 $a Video recordings for the hearing impaired. 655 0 $a Video recordings for people with visual disabilities. 655 7 $a Television programs $z United States. $2 local 655 7 $a Documentary $v Television series. $2 migfg 655 7 $a Adaptation $v Television series. $2 migfg 700 1 $a Dugan, David. $4 drt $4 drt 700 1 $a Shachtman, Tom, $d 1942- $4 aus 700 1 $a Ross, Neil, $d 1944- $4 nrt 700 1 $a Shachtman, Tom, $d 1942- $t Absolute zero and the conquest of cold. 710 2 $a Windfall Films (Firm) 710 2 $a Meridian Productions, Inc. 710 2 $a Twin Cities Public Television (Saint Paul, Minn.) 710 2 $a WGBH (Television station : Boston, Mass.) 710 2 $a British Broadcasting Corporation. 710 2 $a WGBH Video (Firm) 710 2 $a National Science Foundation (U.S.) 730 0 $a Nova (Television program) 740 02 $a Conquest of cold. 740 02 $a Race for absolute zero. 941 $a 5 945 $a dvv 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517012642.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214022044.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909031502.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20140904011257.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20140812071929.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C743B7686BF211DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a 01 $b DIVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
