Kelvin

He brought from London a Kelvin sounding apparatus, with a sufficient length of piano-wire for testing any probable depth.

Then came Sir William Thomson, latterly known as Lord Kelvin. It was fitting that he should be there, for he was the foremost elec- trical scientist at that time in the world, and had been the engineer of the first Atlantic Cable.

New magnetic measurements, detailed by German physicists online June 26 at arXiv.org, indicate that pressurized hydrogen sulfide is a superconductor at roughly 200 kelvins.

Hinode's X-ray telescope can record emissions that range between about 1 million and 4 million kelvins (273.15 kelvins equals 0[degrees]C or 32[degrees]F).

Allow me to reiterate my delight that you allowed kelvins to be used at all.

Their analyses revealed a crystal called olivine, which forms at temperatures between 900 and 1,100 kelvins (1,160[degrees]F to 1,520[degrees]F).

In 2000, the researchers detected the molecule in a region of the star-forming cloud Sagittarius B2 that has a temperature of about 50 kelvins. In the Sept.

Taken by the Cassini spacecraft on July 1, the false-color image shows the unlit surface of the rings, where temperatures vary from 70 kelvins (blue) to 110 kelvins (red).

328) states that star BAT99-2 "is the hottest Wolf-Rayet star known, with a surface temperature of 120,000 kelvins...." BAT99-2's temperature is actually less than 100,000 kelvins, and the star is the hottes Wolf-Rayet star know in the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy.

But it takes an even hotter, more massive star, with a surface temperature greater than 75,000 kelvins and a mass heavier than 20 times that of the sun, to strip helium atoms of their two electrons.

Elliot of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the temperature of Pluto's upper atmosphere--the region beginning about 30 kilometers above the planet's surface--has declined by 5 to 15 kelvins, down to about 85 kelvins, over the past 14 years.

Now, Hyoung Joon Choi and his colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley (Calif.) National Laboratory explain the superconductor's exceptionally high transition temperature of 39 kelvins, as well as other puzzling properties of the material.
