Temperature is one of the most frequently measured parameters, and with good reason. Temperature serves as an important indicator of the condition of an object in machinery, medical diagnostics, ...

I tested six popular thermometers and compared their ease of use, reading speed and design, and found two models I’d recommend to anyone for at-home use.

Atoms are the tiny building blocks of all matter, but under the right conditions, they can become giants. Scientists have found a way to use these supersized atoms, called Rydberg atoms, to create a ...

Extech Instruments now offers a comprehensive line of InfraRed Thermometers for instantaneous non-contact temperature readings. Extech’s IR thermometers are available based on temperature range, ...

Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a new thermometer using atoms boosted to such high energy levels that they are a thousand times larger than normal.

Infrared thermometers or non-contact thermometers are gaining popularity these days because of their advantages. You can measure body temperature without bringing the device in contact. So, the ...

The Pixel 8 Pro has been out for a little over a week now, and the tinkerers are already digging into the device’s temperature sensor. One of the biggest omissions with the temperature sensor is its ...

It seems simple enough to hold a thermometer out in the sun in order to get the temperature “in the sun.” But it is completely wrong. Air isn’t heated up very much by sunlight. The rays pass right ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have invented a miniature thermometer that could be used to monitor the cryogenic temperatures of processor chips in ...
