具有高空间分辨率的精确温度测量是一个具有挑战性的研究课题。纳米和生物技术的进步要求精确的温度测量到纳米级的制度，在传统的方法是无法进行测量。纳米温度计的发展不仅是尺寸的问题，而且还需要具有新物理特性的材料，因为所有物理化学和热力学性质在这种微小的尺度上都发生了巨大的变化。我们回顾了当前纳米测温技术的发展，并描述了它们的优点和应用。特别是，使用分子和生物部分，以及纳米级超结构的热传感器的进展，强调作为一种新的方法来测温。
Accurate temperature measurement with high spatial resolution is a challenging research topic. Advances in nano- and biotechnology demand precise thermometry down to the nanoscale regime, where conventional methods are not able to make measurements. The development of a nanoscale thermometer is not only a matter of size, but also requires materials with novel physical properties, because all physicochemical and thermodynamic properties are drastically altered at this tiny scale. We review current technical developments toward nanoscale thermometries and describe their advantages and applications. In particular, progress on thermal sensors using molecular and biological moieties, as well as nanoscale superstructures, is stressed as a novel approach to thermometry.
