ADELAIDE, Australia, June 2 (UPI) -- Physics researchers at the University of Adelaide, in Australia, say they've created a thermometer capable of pinpointing room temperatures to 30 billionths of a degree.
"We believe this is the best measurement ever made of temperature -- at room temperature," said Andre Luiten, lead researcher and a physics professor at Adelaide. More precise measurements, Luiten points out, are possible at extremely low temperatures, approaching absolute zero.
