Nanokelvin
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-003839
A unit of thermodynamic temperature equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a kelvin. This extremely low temperature range is relevant in advanced physics research, particularly in fields like ultracold atomic physics and quantum computing. Temperatures in the nanokelvin range are achieved using laser cooling and evaporative cooling techniques.
