 Arbitrarily close. I heard of experiments already being done in the
microkelvin range.

Odd. So absolute zero is the "limit" and we can get arbitrarily close to it? Kind of reminds me of the infinity in the unit fractions. Say they are signed for a moment... ;^)

 Correction: just checked, and the Guinness World Record site reports a
figure of 38pK.
