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 ...

Researchers taking the first-ever direct measurement of atom temperature in extremely hot materials inadvertently disproved a ...

Gold usually melts at 1,300 kelvins—a temperature hotter than fresh lava from a volcano. The feat was completely unexpected ...

Physicists superheated gold to 14 times its melting point, disproving a long-standing prediction about the temperature limits ...

With fast heating, sheets of gold can shoot past the theoretical maximum temperature a solid can have before it melts – ...

Why Infrared Thermometers Alone Can’t Measure Internal Meat Temp. Let’s be clear: measuring the outside of meat isn’t enough. Why? Undercooked Meat May Have a Safe-Looking Surface.

This new thermometer can detect extremely small temperature changes. It showed a statistical sensitivity to fractional temperature uncertainty of 0.09 Hz⁻¹/².
