Physicists around the world have created an electronic thermometer. This thermometer could change the way society interprets temperature. Although these thermometers face several challenges in their future, their outcomes are still very promising.  Thermometry experts even state that electronic thermometers could  be very useful at high and low temperatures. I think these thermometers could be very [...]

Researchers from France and Australia have been able to develop a new way to hunt for stars and planets in the heavens.  Using optical fibers, by feeding light through single-mode optical fibers from the telecomm industry.  Getting rid of more light allows researches to look deeper and clearer into space. Will this new development be [...]

The Physics Department at Imperial College have come up with a way to see the sun’s energy moving through plants.  They used powerful pulses of light at high intensities to get instant pictures of how the sun’s energy works in a plant to make food.  Read more here. This is a very important discovery for [...]
