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, ...
Researchers describe a new technique for precisely measuring the temperature and behavior of new two-dimensional materials that will allow engineers to design smaller and faster microprocessors.
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
With a dedicated monthly column, Nature Physics draws attention to metrology. And a set of Commentaries in this issue focuses on various aspects of thermometry. Physics is all about observations, ...
Radiation pressure force is exerted on a surface when it is struck by electromagnetic waves, such as light. Over the past few decades, physicists have used light’s radiation pressure to manipulate the ...
A research team led by Rice University physicist Frank Geurts has successfully measured the temperature of quark-gluon plasma ...
Measuring temperature turns out to be a fundamental function for a huge number of devices. You furnace’s programmable thermostat and digital clocks are obvious examples. If you just needed to know if ...
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 ...
Astronomers have used simultaneous ground-based and space-based observations to measure the temperature and velocity of gas ...
