Ordinary heat is motions of atoms or molecules, but when the motion has died away at 0° K., the nuclei of the atoms still have a property called "spin." Some spins have more energy than others, and the spinning nuclei can affect the spin of other nuclei near them. So high-energy spin can spread through a substance in much the same way that heat does. Low-energy spin can spread, too, so a substance whose atoms are motionless in the ordinary sense can still lose energy and cool below absolute zero...
...Alan K. Done and Vincent C. Kelley of the University of Utah College of Medicine produced new scientific evidence of a theory that might obviate any need to soup up common aspirin. In addition to acting on inflammations, said Drs. Done and Kelley, salicylates (aspirin's family) affect the pituitary-adrenal system, increasing the body's own production of cortisone-like hormones (TIME, June 7, 1954). These body-produced hormones may be as effective in treating arthritis as more dangerous artificial hormones...
