How do you take the temperature of a cell? The familiar thermometer from a doctor’s office is slightly too big considering the average human skin cell is only 30 millionths of a meter wide. But the ...

Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect ...

If you need to measure the temperature of something, chances are good that you could think up half a dozen ways to do it, pretty much all of which would involve some kind of thermometer, thermistor, ...

A special type of laser spectroscopy has been used by researchers in Australia to measure the velocities of atoms in caesium vapour. The technique could allow researchers to infer both the temperature ...

Physicists have devised a thermometer that can potentially measure temperatures as low as tens of trillionths of a degree above absolute zero. As physicists strive to cool atoms down to ever more ...

Pioneering research has now developed a method to accurately measure the surface temperature of nanoscale objects when they have a different temperature than their environment. Temperature ...

A new type of thin-film acoustic-wave resonator that is capable of simultaneously measuring mass as well as temperature has been unveiled by an international team of researchers. It allows users to ...

Physicists have taken the Universe’s temperature, revealing the searing trillion-degree heat of the Big Bang’s first plasma.

In my review of the FLIR One, I mentioned that this would be an excellent device for a physics lab. So, here is my first "lab", hopefully there will be more posts like this. The FLIR One Tech Specs ...

This press release is available in Spanish. The main problem associated with measuring the effects of fire on materials lies in the temperature of the flames, which reaches over 1000 ºC and can ...
