...remarkable transition that occurs in many metals when they are cooled to temperatures within several degrees of absolute zero, or, as scientists prefer to designate it, 0 Kelvin. Absolute zero, equivalent to -460 degrees F or -273 degrees C, represents a total absence of heat; it is the coldest temperature conceivable. As the + metals approach this frigid limit, they suddenly lose all their electrical resistance and become superconductors. This enables them to carry currents without the loss of any energy and in some cases to generate immensely powerful magnetic fields. Scientists have recognized for years that the implications of this...
Bogdanov rules over the coldest, richest, most remote region of the Soviet Union. It is an area nearly twice the size of Texas, tucked into the farthest corner of the Soviet Far East, between the Sea of Okhotsk and the Bering Straits. Temperatures in some parts of the region fall to -95 degrees F in winter, and even in late March the central Kolyma basin recorded -35 degrees F on a crystal-clear...
...clearly the quiet, embarrassed guys--on the coldest nights--who most need my quarters. But on a freezing cold night in March, with a thesis to finish and a chest cold to fight, it's easy not to feel like everyone I pass is a brother. There are only unwanted in-laws on nights like that. It takes all of my energy just to maintain an adequate dose of contempt for everyone I pass...
...then he missed those first six shots of the second half. Why did Penn go to its coldest shooter with the game--and control of the Ivy League--on the line...
Moore says that one of his most memorable football moments was playing in the coldest game in NFL history--the Bengals vs. the San Diego Chargers in 60-degrees-below-zero Cincinnati weather. "That was an exercise in torture," says Moore. "I had my feet wrapped in plastic and scuba gloves on. The only consolation was that the San Diego guys were worse...
