Hello parents, teachers and students! Want to see the science of meteorology right in your home? Try making this Topo-Chico ...

Introduction Are you sometimes eager to understand how things work? Or excited about making useful objects and instruments yourself? Did you ever imagine you could build your own liquid thermometer?

Have you ever placed a thermometer under your tongue and wondered how that tiny device knows if you have a fever? Or checked the weather and thought about how scientists measure temperature so ...

A new device eavesdrops on objects to take their temperatures. Hot objects not only glow, but also softly hum. The hum is generated by the rapid jitters of particles that make up the hot object. If ...

Billionth of a degree An Australian team of researchers have developed a thermometer that is several times more sensitive than the best produced so far. The device, known as a 'nano-Kelvin thermometer ...

Countless chemical reactions go on in your cells and, if you remember from chemistry classes, temperature is a significant factor in those reactions. The general temperature inside a cell can be a ...

Measuring the temperature of objects at a nanometer-scale has been a long challenge, especially in living biological samples, because of the lack of precise and reliable nanothermometers. An ...
