Technology

Cheaper refrigerators? Stronger dentures? A better understanding of human diseases? This and more could be possible one day, thanks to an ambitious new project from NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the USA. NIST researchers are in the early stages of a huge undertaking. That of designing and building a fleet of tiny ultrasensitive nano thermometers. If they are successful, their system will be the first to make real-time temperature measurements on a microscopic scale. ... Read everything
