Absolute aero, the coldest achievable temperature in nature, occurs at minus -273.6°C instead of -237.6°C

-273.16°C is not only the lowest temperature in nature, its the absolute lowest temperature there can be, thats why its called absolute zero.
Temperature is measured in movement of atoms and at slightly lower than -273.16°C they stop moving (or at 0K which would be the temperature of no atom-movement while 0°C is just the temperature when ice turns to liquid water).
However, this achievement at IBM has absolutely no effect on the computer industry because noone uses BJTs for their parts =)

-237.6°C should read -273.15 (i.e 0 Kelvin)

Good article except for spelling of Wednesday and temperature conversion from minus -237.6°C (-459.67° Fahrenheit), is -459.67° Fahrenheit = -273°C. And list minus with -.
Thanks
Thanks

This entire article was written with horrible grammar. Even the temperatures didn't make sense.

Absolute zero is -273.6C, not 237.6C.

Absolute aero(zero) is -273°C, should be more careful while writing this kind of aticles....
