how do thermometers work?

Specifically the ones that measure your temperature as opposed to the weather ones. I know about the mercury but is that in the ones you use for your temperature? And how to the touchless ones work?

The ones that measure your temperature operate on the same principle as the ones that measure weather temperature, the temperature-dependent expansion of the fluid inside.

Touchless thermometers use an electric eye that can see infrared radiation, which is heat.
