Abstract: Recent advances in nanotechnology are expressed by the atom-scale insights successes related to development in nanometrology. Its main integral part is supposed to be nanothermometry. The latter rests on nanothermodynamics while determining its advancement as well as the overall progress of nanotechnology. This mutual feedback, described by the examples of certain types of thermotransducers in a series of articles published in Sensors & Transducers journal earlier, is under consideration in this paper.

Keywords: Nanothermometry, Nanometrology, Nanothermodynamics, Fluctuations, Noise
