1 E-12 K - Definition and Overview

To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists temperatures between 1 picokelvin (10^-12 K) and 1 nanokelvin (10^-9 K).

• Temperatures lower than 1 pK
• 250 pK (2.5 × 10^-10 K) – Lowest temperature ever produced [1] (http://boojum.hut.fi/research/magnetism/zero.html), during an experiment on nuclear magnetic ordering in the Helsinki University of Technology's Low Temperature Lab.
• 450 pK (4.5 × 10^-10 K) – Lowest temperature Bose-Einstein condensate ever achieved in the laboratory; at MIT within sodium gas. [2] (http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2003/09/11/cold_sodium030911)
• Temperatures higher than 1 nK
