Historically, on the Fahrenheit scale the freezing point of water was 32°F, and the boiling point was 212°F (at standard atmospheric pressure). This put the boiling and freezing points of water 180degrees apart. [10] Therefore, a degree on the Fahrenheit scale was 1⁄ 180 of the interval between the freezing point and the boiling point. On the Celsius scale, the freezing and boiling points of water were originally defined to be 100degrees apart. A temperature interval of 1°F was equal to an interval of 5⁄ 9degrees Celsius. With the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales now both defined by the kelvin, this relationship was preserved, a temperature interval of 1°F being equal to an interval of 5⁄ 9K and of 5⁄ 9°C. The Fahrenheit and Celsius scales intersect numerically at −40 in the respective unit (i.e, −40°F ≘ −40°C). Recall that trigonometric functions have angles as their inputs and ratios as their outputs. They also have periodic graphs. Roy Greenslade (29 May 2014).

Using the Debye model, the specific heat and entropy of a pure crystal are proportional to T 3, while the enthalpy and chemical potential are proportional to T 4. (Guggenheim, p.111) These quantities drop toward their T=0 limiting values and approach with zero slopes. For the specific heats at least, the limiting value itself is definitely zero, as borne out by experiments to below 10K. Even the less detailed Einstein model shows this curious drop in specific heats. In fact, all specific heats vanish at absolute zero, not just those of crystals. Likewise for the coefficient of thermal expansion. Maxwell's relations show that various other quantities also vanish. These phenomena were unanticipated. Fahrenheit proposed his temperature scale in 1724, basing it on two reference points of temperature. In his initial scale (which is not the final Fahrenheit scale), the zero point was determined by placing the thermometer in "a mixture of ice, water, and salis Armoniaci [note 1] [transl. ammonium chloride] or even sea salt". [13] This combination forms a eutectic system, which stabilizes its temperature automatically: 0°F was defined to be that stable temperature. A second point, 96degrees, was approximately the human body's temperature. [13] A third point, 32degrees, was marked as being the temperature of ice and water "without the aforementioned salts". [13]Fahrenheit soon after observed that water boils at about 212degrees using this scale. [18] The use of the freezing and boiling points of water as thermometer fixed reference points became popular following the work of Anders Celsius, and these fixed points were adopted by a committee of the Royal Society led by Henry Cavendish in 1776–77. [19] [20] Under this system, the Fahrenheit scale is redefined slightly so that the freezing point of water was exactly 32°F, and the boiling point was exactly 212°F, or 180degrees higher. It is for this reason that normal human body temperature is approximately 98.6°F (oral temperature) on the revised scale (whereas it was 90° on Fahrenheit's multiplication of Rømer, and 96° on his original scale).

In September 2014, scientists in the CUORE collaboration at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy cooled a copper vessel with a volume of one cubic meter to 0.006 kelvins (−273.144°C; −459.659°F) for 15 days, setting a record for the lowest temperature in the known universe over such a large contiguous volume.

Absolute zero cannot be achieved, although it is possible to reach temperatures close to it through the use of evaporative cooling, cryocoolers, dilution refrigerators, [29] and nuclear adiabatic demagnetization. The use of laser cooling has produced temperatures of less than a billionth of a kelvin. [30] At very low temperatures in the vicinity of absolute zero, matter exhibits many unusual properties, including superconductivity, superfluidity, and Bose–Einstein condensation. To study such phenomena, scientists have worked to obtain even lower temperatures.
