Absolute Zero and the Conquest of Cold

俄勒冈大学尤金分校（University of Oregon, Eugene）正在制作《绝对零度与征服寒冷》（Absolute Zero and The Conquest of Cold），这是一部关于低温物理学领域的电视纪录片，时长三小时。如今，三分之一的物理学家都在低温物理学领域工作。该系列探讨了该领域动荡历史中的关键概念、重要人物和事件，以及通过空调、制冷和液化气等技术对寒冷的掌握对社会产生的巨大影响。这部电影在很大程度上基于汤姆·沙赫特曼（Tom Shachtman）的同名书籍，将记录四个世纪以来对低温的研究如何产生了惊人的科学见解和应用，这些见解和应用彻底改变了我们生活的世界。计划中的推广活动包括公共项目、博物馆活动和互动网站。该项目的PI是俄勒冈大学的罗素·唐纳利、双子城公共电视台的理查德·哈德森和子午线/横财制作公司的梅雷迪思·伯奇。其他主要工作人员还包括原著作者托马斯·沙赫特曼（Thomas Shachtman）；大卫·杜根，意外之财电影公司联合制片人/导演；David Heil and Associates的David Heil；多媒体研究的巴巴拉·弗拉格；以及古德曼研究集团的艾琳·古德曼。

The University of Oregon, Eugene, is producing "Absolute Zero and the Conquest of Cold," a three-hour television documentary series about the field of low-temperature physics, the field in which one-third of all physicists are working today. The series explores key concepts, significant individuals and events in the field's turbulent history, and the enormous impact that the mastery of cold has had on society through technologies such as air-conditioning, refrigeration and liquefied gases. The film, based in large part on Tom Shachtman's book of the same name, will document how four centuries of research into lower temperatures has produced stunning scientific insights and applications that have revolutionized the world we live in. Planned outreach includes public programs, museum activities, and an interactive web site. The PI's for the project are Russell Donnelly of the University of Oregon, Richard Hudson of Twin Cites Public Television, and Meredith Burch of Meridian/Windfall Productions, Inc. Other key staff members include Thomas Shachtman, author of the book upon which the series is based; David Dugan, Co-Producer/Director of Windfall Films; David Heil of David Heil and Associates; Barbara Flagg of Multimedia Research; and Irene Goodman, of Goodman Research Group.
