Chemists use DNA to build the world's tiniest thermometer

Wednesday, April 27, 2016 - 02:51 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers at University of Montreal have created a programmable DNA thermometer that is 20,000x smaller than a human hair. This scientific advance reported this week in the journal Nano Letters may significantly aid our understanding of natural and human designed nanotechnologies by enabling to measure temperature at the nanoscale.
