What is absolute zero (Lansing State Journal, January 29, 1992) Question submitted by: W. Thomson of Lansing Temperature is a physical quantity which gives us an idea of how hot or cold an object is. The temperature of an object depends on how fast the atoms and molecules which make up the object can shake, or oscillate. As an object is cooled, the oscillations of its atoms and molecules slow ...

Former Bell Labs Scientist Steven Chu Wins Nobel Prize The idea of using lasers to trap and cool molecules for study began over a lunchtable conversation at Bell Labs in Holmdel, N.J. more than 10 years ago. Today, because of his idea, former Bell Labs researcher Steven Chu is one Nobel Prize in Physics richer. Holmdel, N.J (October, 1997) -- An idea that sprang up over lunch at a Bell Labs ...
