In 1995, a significant advance in the optical cooling of matter was made at Los Alamos when researchers for the first time used laser light to cool a solid. The sample comprised a glass compound doped with ytterbium (Yb), a rare earth element. Starting at room temperature, the earliest cooling experiment reduced the Yb sample's temperature by 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit. By the fifth year of research, the process had reduced the sample temperature by 117 degrees Fahrenheit, the current world record for laser cooling of solids. This groundbreaking work promises to push solid-state laser cooling of certain materials to even lower temperatures in future.

Yes, I mean what does that have to do with the pic straight from The Shining. |

Maybe that's what he turned into while conducting this research.  |

LOL! This thread is funny. "cool" topic as well.
