In everyday life, measuring temperature is pretty straightforward. But in the quantum world, which deals with the super small and the ultra-cold, determining how hot or cold something is starts to get ...

One of the most common measurement errors is using the wrong tool for the job. For example, using a tape measure to estimate small mechanical tolerances or relying on a bathroom scale to track precise ...

IBM scientists have finally cracked the code to creating an efficient means of measuring temperature at the smallest possible scale, promising big things for future computing and scientific research.

Being able to measure, and monitor, temperatures and temperature changes at miniscule scales--inside a cell or in micro and nano-electronic components--has the potential to impact many areas of ...

HOW do you take the temperature of the coldest thing in the universe? With a quantum thermometer, of course. And this new ability could provide fresh insights into black holes. The coldest matter ...
