Scientists have developed a new method for measuring temperature extremely accurately by using giant 'Rydberg' atoms. This atomic thermometer provides accurate measurements 'out of the box,' without ...

A novel molecular thermometer based on solvatochromic dyes can determine temperature fluctuations within cells. Measuring your temperature is as simple as sticking a thermometer in your mouth, but for ...

Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a new thermometer using atoms boosted to such high energy levels that they are a thousand times larger than normal.
