The connection between body heat — or fever — and disease was made millennia ago, but the clinical utility of body temperature was not fully understood until the 1800s. Although it would be many years ...

Argentometric titration of chloride is commonly used to quantify sodium in foodstuffs. This approach assumes that all sodium ions in the sample come from sodium chloride. However, sodium can also ...

Increasing interest – and reliance on – data-based healthcare means device manufacturers are looking for more parameters to integrate into wearable devices, says Dr Joris Roels of Melexis. An ...

In the realm of lighting and temperature measurement, advancements in material science are paving the way for significant improvements in technology and safety. Traditional methods, which combine ...

Oral and rectal temperatures are the most reliable predictors of core body temperature, but measuring these temperatures in children under 4 years of age is often difficult. Currently the rectal ...

Acoustic thermometry is an arcane, elegant temperature measurement technique. It utilizes sound’s temperature dependent transit time in a medium to measure temperature. The medium may be a solid, ...

These results will contribute to a worldwide effort to redefine the kelvin, the international unit of temperature, and could lead to better thermometers for industry. Accurate temperature measurement ...

Research in low temperature nanoelectronics and thermometry has ushered in a transformative era in the study of quantum phenomena and advanced sensor technologies. By exploiting the interplay between ...

Reliable temperature measurement is indispensable in science, engineering, and environmental monitoring. However, many traditional sensors, including contact probes, pyrometers, or fibre optic devices ...
