How Did a Laser Cool This Semiconductor To Almost Absolute Zero? [Science]

It's completely counterintuitive, but scientists at the Niels Bohr Institute have succeeded in cooling a semiconductor membrane to −452.2°F, almost seven degrees above absolute zero, using a powerful laser we usually think of as only being able to burn. More »
