Although digital body-temperature thermometers may be easier to read than their analog counterparts, there’s always the chance that their battery will go flat between uses. That’s where the BCool thermometer comes in, as you just give it a few shakes t… Continue reading Capacitor-packin’ BCool digital thermometer has no need for a battery
The 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded jointly to David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian, for their work uncovering the receptors that allow us to perceive temperature and pressure.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: No… Continue reading First 2021 Nobel Prize awarded to pioneers of biology behind touch
Quantum computers have the potential to drastically outperform traditional computers, but for now they’re mostly limited to labs and big experimental setups. Japanese researchers have now made a step towards more accessible quantum computing devices, f… Continue reading Twisted light makes for breakthrough quantum computer chip
Physicists in Germany have produced the coldest temperature ever recorded – a chilly 38 trillionths of a degree above absolute zero. The strange experiment involved dropping a quantum gas, and switching a magnetic field on and off to bring its atoms to… Continue reading Quantum gas free fall experiment creates coldest temperature ever recorded
Electronics, and batteries in particular, are vulnerable to very high or very low temperatures, but a new thermal switch could help deal with both. It’s made from (what else) graphene foam that can dynamically trap heat when it’s cold out, or allow hea… Continue reading Graphene foam “thermal switch” keeps batteries warm or cool on demand

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has confirmed the highest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica. On February 6, 2020 at Argentina’s Esperanza Base, located at Hope Bay on the Antarctic Peninsula, a maximum temperature of 18.3 °C (69.9 °F)… Continue reading Record high temperature for Antarctica confirmed by WMO
Scientists may be able to detect the presence of dark matter by searching for anomalous heat signatures from distant alien worlds. Dark matter is an enigmatic, invisible substance that is thought to make up around 80 percent of the universe’s mass.Cont… Continue reading Exoplanets could be used as colossal detectors in hunt for dark matter
Using advanced infrared imaging technology aboard an Earth-orbiting satellite, scientists have measured the coldest temperature of a storm cloud on record at a chilling −111.2 °C. The severe thunderstorm barreled across the Pacific in late 2018 where i… Continue reading Severe storm cloud breaks into the stratosphere to hit record low temp
One of [Sasa]’s life goals is to be able to sit back in his home and watch as robots perform all of his work for him. In order to work …read more Continue reading Your Plants Can Take Care of Themselves Now
