"The conquest of cold" opens in the 1600s when the nature of cold and heat was a complete mystery. Were they different aspects of the same phenomenon? The experiments that settled those questions helped stoke the Industrial Revolution. "The race for absolute zero" dramatizes the rivalry between Scottish researcher James Dewar and Dutch physicist Heike Onnes, who plunged cold science to the forbidding realm at which oxygen and then hydrogen turn into liquids. The quest continues today as scientists pioneer super-fast computing near absolute zero-- the ultimate chill of -459.67° F, where atoms slow to a virtual standstill. 521 8 Not rated. 536 This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation|cESI-0307939 538 DVD, region 1, anamorphic widescreen (16:9) presentation; Dolby Digital, NTSC. 546 Closed-captioned; Described video for the visually impaired. 650 0 Low temperature research|vVideodiscs. 650 0 Low temperatures|vVideodiscs. 650 0 Cold|vVideodiscs. 650 0 DVDs. 655 7 Documentary films.|2lcgft 655 7 Television programs.|2lcgft 700 1 Dugan, David,|eproducer,|edirector. 700 1 Burch, Meredith,|eproducer. 700 1 Shachtman, Tom,|d1942-|eauthor. 700 1 Shachtman, Tom,|d1942-|tAbsolute zero and the conquest of cold. 710 2 Windfall Films (Firm) 710 2 Meridian Productions, Inc. 710 2 Twin Cities Public Television (Saint Paul, Minn.) 710 2 WGBH (Television station : Boston, Mass.) 710 2 British Broadcasting Corporation. 710 2 WGBH Video (Firm) 710 2 National Science Foundation (U.S.) 730 0 Nova (Television program)
