Temperature is a pretty weird thing if you think about it. How do you best define temperature? Let me go ahead and give you my favorite definition: Temperature is the thing that two objects have ...

A special type of laser spectroscopy has been used by researchers in Australia to measure the velocities of atoms in caesium vapour. The technique could allow researchers to infer both the temperature ...

Rather the device and others like it may allow scientists to completely overhaul the concept of temperature and recast it in terms of fundamental physics.

New model helps define optimal temperature and pressure to forge nanoscale diamonds Date: October 15, 2018 Source: American Institute of Physics Summary: To forge nanodiamonds, which have ...

Race for new temperature definition: Most accurate measurement yet of Boltzmann constant Date: July 11, 2013 Source: Institute of Physics Summary: Scientists have performed the most accurate ...

An abrupt transition in the electrical resistance of graphite at 350 K could be a signature of superconductivity occurring well above room temperature (293 K). That is the claim of Pablo Esquinazi and ...

What is quantum physics? Put simply, it’s the physics that explains how everything works: the best description we have of the nature of the particles that make up matter and the forces with which they ...

To forge nanodiamonds, which have potential applications in medicine, optoelectronics and quantum computing, researchers expose organic explosive molecules to powerful detonations in a controlled ...
