520    Presents the history of low-temperature research and the 
       quest for ever-lower notches on the thermometer. The 
       conquest of cold opens with experiments in the 1600s that 
       asked what heat and cold are and whether they are 
       different aspects of the same phenomenon. Shows how 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. Shows how 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.
