CoordinatorEuropean Comission
Nanometre-scale devices capable of measuring temperature variations at a molecular level are valuable in both fundamental and applied science. For example, they can quickly measure micromachine overheating or the temperature inside of a cell. Although they hold tremendous promise for many applications, their 2D resolution has been a limiting fac...Development of 4D wireless thermometry to target tumor ablation (PTDC/NAN-MAT/3901/2020)
