Scientist measures record cryogenic temperature of helium
K Olzewski used solid hydrogen to cool helium to minus 259 C under 180 atmospheres then released pressure to create a colder moment. Calculations suggest a further drop to 271.3 degrees, but helium did not liquefy and its boiling point is likely below minus 271. Prospect of liquefying helium seems unlikely.
