Coldest Spot on Earth Found in Washington DC
In Washington DC a room at the Bureau of Standards has achieved record low temperatures. Professor C. W. Kanolt froze hydrogen to 421 below and approached absolute zero 459 below, creating ultra cold conditions for scientific study while Washington endured a hot summer. The method involves compressing hydrogen, cooling with liquid air, and vacuum evaporation to liquify and solidify hydrogen for research purposes.
