Exploiting a quantum principle in a novel way, researchers at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a miniature thermometer that works below 1K with errors less that 14mK and a response time of 5ms. Two of the novel temperature sensors (top right, bottom left) are bonded to a chip under ...
