The lowest temperature achieved was 9.7 picokelvin. A picokelvin, written pK, equals 10β12 kelvin, so it is an extremely small fraction of a kelvin. This temperature was reached during an experiment on the Chinese space station Tiangong. It is above absolute zero, which is the limiting temperature where a thermodynamic system has its minimum energy.
