ultralow

Barely above zero

Ultralow describes something extremely low, beyond what would ordinarily be called low: ultralow interest rates, ultralow emissions, ultralow temperatures.

The prefix ultra- intensifies low to suggest levels at or near the minimum of a scale.

Common in technical and scientific contexts where precise gradations matter.
