Negative temperature is a concept primarily found in statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, and it can be somewhat counterintuitive. While temperatures are usually thought of as being positive (0 K and above, where 0 K is absolute zero), negative temperatures can occur in systems with a limited number of energy states, such as certain magnetic systems or some types of dissipative systems.
