element zeronoun(science fiction) A fictional chemical element with element number/atomic number/proton number zero (0), often with unrealistic properties.
absolute scalenoun(metrology) A temperature scale whose zero corresponds to absolute zero such as the Kelvin scale or Rankine scale.

static equilibriumnoun(physics) Any system in which the sum of the forces, and torque, on each particle of the system is zero; mechanical equilibrium.
freezing pointnoun(physics, chemistry) The temperature at which a liquid freezes, and the solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium; normally the same as the melting point.
kelvinnounIn the International System of Units, the base unit of thermodynamic temperature; ¹⁄_(273.16) of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water.
heat deathnoun(physics) The state of a thermodynamic system having reached a maximum entropy; temperature is uniform throughout, and no energy is available to do work.
element 0nounAlternative form of element zero. [(informal, nuclear physics, science fiction) Synonym of neutronium (“material composed of neutrons”).]
