Physicists at NIST discovered how to calibrate temperature measurements by monitoring motions of nanomechanical system governed by rules of quantum mechanics. While not yet ready for commercialization, method reveals how object's thermal energy can be precisely determined by observing its physical properties at quantum scale. Initial demonstration has absolute accuracy within few percentage points, and NIST approach works over temperature range encompassing cryogenic and room temperatures.
