A series on the current work of Fellows of the Royal Society.
With Nicholas Kurti, F.R.S.
The temperature at the South Pole is -70° C. The temperature of outer space is -270° C. In many laboratories, scientists have achieved temperatures lower still. Recently in Oxford a temperature has been reached that is only one millionth of a degree above the unobtainable absolute zero of -273° C.
Outside broadcast cameras visit the Clarendon Laboratory at Oxford to meet the scientists studying the extraordinary behaviour of matter at these extreme temperatures.
