Researchers measured the temperature of C. elegans nematode worms via tracking of embedded nanodiamonds. (Courtesy: Masazumi Fujiwara, Osaka City University) How do you take a worm’s temperature? With ...

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 ...

A new study presents a method to record the temperature of materials with exceptional temporal resolution, using a Doppler broadening effect in neutron resonance absorption. Using a high-powered laser ...

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could do physics experiments on your phone, without needing a lab full of special instruments? Actually you can, with a free app called PhyPhox. It records data using the ...

A study led by UCC’s Prof Séamus Davis has paved the way for developing ‘revolutionary’ room-temperature superconductors. Researchers at University College Cork (UCC) and the University of Oxford have ...

Gold usually melts at 1,300 kelvins—a temperature hotter than fresh lava from a volcano. But scientists recently shot a nanometers-thick sample of gold with a laser and heated it to an astonishing ...
