Tiny thermometer directly monitors changes in temperature when ions pass through a nanopore

Scientists from SANKEN (the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research) at Osaka University measured the thermal effects of ionic flow through a nanopore using a thermocouple. They found that under most conditions, both the current and heating power varied with applied voltage as predicted by Ohm's law. This work may lead to more advanced nanoscale sensors.
