Temperature measurement in biology and medical diagnostics, along with sensitive temperature probing in living cells, is of great importance. Here, a novel “turn‐on” carbon‐dot‐based nanothermometry device for spatially resolved temperature measurements in living cells is demonstrated. The red fluorescence of carbon nanodots could be quenched by glutathione and recovered by increasing temperature. Thus, fluorescent nanothermometry is achieved through the fluorescence quenching and recovery processes, respectively. More information can be found in the Communication by C. Wang, C. Zhang et al. on page 14475 ff.
