Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004242
A unit of thermodynamic temperature equal to one quadrillion (10^15) kelvins. This extremely high temperature is theoretical and relevant only in the context of extreme astrophysical phenomena, such as the core of a supernova or the early universe. Such temperatures are far beyond any achievable in terrestrial laboratories.
