What is quantum science – and why does NASA want to do it in space? Using lasers and magnetic fields, scientists remotely operate the Cold Atom Lab aboard the International Space Station, enabling microgravity research that wouldn't be possible on Earth! | NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory

Cool. Our Cold Atom Lab attains a fraction of a degree above absolute zero: −459ºF (−273ºC), the absolute coldest temperature matter can reach. See how (and why) we're it using aboard the International Space Station to do quantum physics experiments: https://go.nasa.gov/2QMqVCD | NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
