Ultracold science finds new method to get even colder

Achieving such temperatures is necessary to study fundamental properties of matter and the strange effects caused by quantum mechanics. Organic Nomenclature. The nomenclature of substituted benzene ring compounds is less systematic than that of the alkanes, alkenes and alkynes.
