Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com, November 28 (Xinhua)-- one of the main scientific payloads of the Mengtian experimental module of the Chinese space station, the Ultra-Cold Atomic Physics experiment Cabinet (CAPR) has successfully completed its first self-test and will carry out related platform tasks, according to the China Science Daily.

According to the introduction of the ultra-cold atomic physics experiment cabinet, the superfreezer is actually a laboratory that carries out ultra-cold atomic physics experiments in the space station. It uses laser cooling technology to cool atoms to the order of magnitude of competition (10-12, only 1/10000000000 degrees from absolute zero), and on this basis to carry out major physical studies such as superconducting mechanism, topological phase transition, basic standard model test and so on.

The requirement of establishing an ultra-cold atomic physics laboratory in the space station is very strict. in addition to the high related indexes, it is also necessary to solve the resource limitations such as volume, weight and power consumption. and can meet the safety, reliability, in-orbit maintenance and other special requirements of manned spaceflight.

According to reports, the superfreezer is characterized by obtaining "the lowest temperature in the universe", obtaining the fifth state of matter predicted by Einstein in 1925, and using the coldest matter in the universe to carry out scientific experiments. From January 2023 to December 2032, the experimental plan includes four categories: quantum simulation, quantum new state, basic physical theory test, dark matter and Higgs model test. Through these experiments, we can discover new physical phenomena, test the basic laws of physics, and promote the progress of basic physics research.

CTOnews.com learned that the Mengtian module is equipped with eight experimental cabinets, including ultra-cold atomic physics experimental cabinets, high-precision time-frequency experimental cabinets, high-temperature material science experimental cabinets, two-phase system experimental cabinets, fluid physics experimental cabinets, combustion science experimental cabinets, and online maintenance installation and adjustment cabinets. The Mengtian experimental module mainly carries out related scientific and applied research in the fields of microgravity basic physics, space material science, microgravity fluid physics and combustion science.
