Iowa farmers are keeping a close eye on their cattle as temperatures soar above 100 degrees Wednesday.Farmers said there are a number of things they do to help keep their animals cool. Couser Cattle ...

Physicists in the US have developed a new type of self-calibrating thermometer that exploits the shot noise in a tunnel junction to measure very low temperatures. Robert Schoelkopf of Yale University ...

I love it when something works so well it might as well be called magic. That’s how I felt when I tried the Braun No Touch + Forehead NTF3000 thermometer. I have to admit I’m a bit slow when it comes ...

SO HOT, SO COOL: If you're toodling around Death Valley, and you've reached Furnace Creek, and the temperature is not only toasty but well into three-digit-dom, say, for example, 110, 115, or, eep, ...

Lately I have been looking at our outdoor thermometer a little more, due to all this cold weather. Before the Weather Channel, reading the mercury was the only way to determine the day's weather. By ...

Physicists have devised a thermometer that can potentially measure temperatures as low as tens of trillionths of a degree above absolute zero. As physicists strive to cool atoms down to ever more ...

RFID fields can power a thermometer briefly for readings. This device uses a board with an RFID IC to store power from the reader's magnetic field The board displays temperature readings on a ...

As physicists strive to cool atoms down to ever more frigid temperatures, they face the daunting task of developing new, reliable ways of measuring these extreme lows. Now a team of physicists has ...
