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 ...

The most accurate thermometer in the known universe looks nothing like a thermometer. It is a copper vessel the size of a large cantaloupe, filled with ultrapure argon gas and studded with microphones ...
