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 ...

The thermometer is one of two inside the ProtoDUNE-SP cryostat. The second thermometer, which is also 25 feet long and contains 22 sensors, was constructed by the University of Hawaii and Fermilab. It ...

For the first time, astronomers have detected in the ultraviolet the carbon monoxide molecule in a galaxy located almost 11 billion light-years away, a feat that had remained elusive for 25 years.

Fast and tiny temperature changes visible in the glow of a 2D salt.

So, the next time you check your body temperature or look at a weather forecast, remember the incredible science behind that little gadget! That’s all in Science Behind it today. mercury thermometer ...

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 ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced last week that it would stop calibrating mercury thermometers starting March 1 a move that brings the U.S. one step closer to ...

A new thermometer takes the temperature of objects by sensing sounds that the objects give off when they get hot. In this simulation, a sheet of silicon nitride (center) detects sound waves from ...
