A new thermometer can gauge ultra-cold temperatures extremely accurately and with no need for calibration. It relies on electrical fluctuations called shot noise. If the voltage applied to the ...

Physicists in the US have developed a new type of self-calibrating thermometer that exploits the shot noise in a tunnel junction to measure very low temperatures. Robert Schoelkopf of Yale University ...

In this Midday Medical interview, we are introduced to the Noise Thermometer as a way to measure how much damage might be happening to our hearing from noise exposure during daily activities.

Examples of how everyday household activities fill up our hearing with sound are illustrated by the "Howard Leight by Honeywell Noise Thermometer." Download a copy to print out for yourself from ...

In this PSL segment, we are introduced to the Noise Thermometer as a way to measure how much damage might be happening to our hearing from noise-inducing sources. Some of these sources are part of ...

Tesla has applied for a patent on new glass technology for better noise reduction and temperature control inside its vehicles. Over the last few years, Tesla has been focusing on material ...

Reducing interference from Johnson noise is why telescopes often have ... such as a battery-free remote temperature sensor. It’s important to note that this isn’t using backscatter of ambient ...
