Chemical thermometers take temperature to the nanometric scale

How do you measure temperature changes in nanometric events? According to Science Daily: The miniaturisation of electronic components coupled with their increasing integration density has considerably expanded heat flows, which can lead to overheating. But how to measure these nanometric events when conventional solutions such as infrared thermography cannot go below a micrometre (1,000 times…
