It’s Good to Know: The Explosion Thermometer

The National Physics Laboratory has developed a thermometer that’s nothing like the one your mom used to take your temperature. It can withstand not only the extreme heat of a fireball, but also harsh conditions like intense wind and pressure.

The thermometer will be used to reveal the chemical and physical reactions that occur during the detonation and expansion phases of an explosion. This information is intended to help scientists understand the processes involved in the Big Bang theory of the creation of the universe.
