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.

位于尤金的俄勒冈州大学（University of Oregon）正在制作一部名为《绝对零度与征服寒冷》（Absolute Zero and the Conquest of Cold）的电视纪录片。这部纪录片长达三个小时，讲述的是低温物理学领域的情况。 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掌握冷技术对社会产生的巨大影响。 这部电影在很大程度上基于Tom Shachtman的同名书籍，将记录四个世纪对低温的研究如何产生令人惊叹的科学见解和应用，这些见解和应用彻底改变了我们生活的世界。 计划的外展活动包括公共项目、博物馆活动和互动网站。 该项目的PI是俄勒冈州大学的Russell Donnelly，Twin Cites公共电视台的Richard哈德逊和Meridian/Windfall Productions，Inc.的Meredith Burch。 其他主要工作人员包括托马斯沙赫特曼，作者的书，该系列的基础;大卫杜根，联合制片人/导演的意外之财电影;大卫海尔的大卫海尔和联营公司;芭芭拉弗拉格多媒体研究;和艾琳古德曼，古德曼研究集团。
