What Does NK Stand For?
NK stands for Nanokelvin
Nanokelvin (NK) is a unit of temperature measurement equal to one billionth of a kelvin (1 nK = 10^-9 K). It is commonly used in advanced scientific research, particularly in the fields of cryogenics and condensed matter physics, to describe temperatures approaching absolute zero, where quantum effects become significant and materials exhibit unique properties. Measurements in nanokelvins enable researchers to explore phenomena such as Bose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity.
