A World without Disorder: Absolute Zero Temperature
Permanent URI for this collection
Robert C. Richardson's 1978 public lecture, demonstration, "A World Without Disorder: Absolute Zero Temperature", describes for a general audience the research for which later he, along with Lee and Osheroff, would be honored with a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1996.
The Cornell Chronicle 10(13) p.9 30 Nov 1978 stated "He will describe some of the unexpected new phenomena recently discovered ... within a few thousandths of a degree of absolute zero. Finally he will discuss some of the unsolved puzzles and the practical implications of research at very low temperatures."
In the DVD-ROM: Selected articles published by the Cornell Chronicle about Cornell research on absolute zero (and superconductivity) are included, along with video formats for playing as QuickTime and iPod movies (320x240 pixels).
