While most planets that we are familiar with stick relatively close to their host star in a predictable orbit, some planets ...

Quite far beyond the Milky Way is a lone planet that astronomers found new information about. For the first time, scientists ...

If you want to determine your mass, it's pretty easy. Just step on a scale and look at the number it gives you. That number tells you the gravitational pull of Earth upon you, so if you feel the ...

Determining the size of an Earth-size exoplanet by the amount of starlight it blocks hundreds of light-years away once was the realm of science fiction. Measuring the mass of such a small planet based ...

1. Arxiv – A LEGO Watt Balance: An apparatus to demonstrate the definition of mass based on the new SI National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) researchers have designed and built a watt ...

A new type of thin-film acoustic-wave resonator that is capable of simultaneously measuring mass as well as temperature has been unveiled by an international team of researchers. It allows users to ...

Astronomers report the exciting discovery of a new way to measure the mass of supermassive black holes in galaxies. By measuring the speed with which carbon monoxide molecules orbit around such black ...

Caltech scientists have developed a method driven by machine learning that allows them to accurately measure the mass of individual particles and molecules using complex nanoscale devices. The new ...

Swarm Flyby Gravimetry is a concept to determine the mass of asteroid or comets during flyby using a collection of small, disposable tracking targets called probes. The probes are deployed from a ...

July 21 (UPI) --A team of scientists from Germany and Japan have recorded the most precise measurement of a proton's mass. Researchers accomplished the feat by trapping a proton in a super sensitive ...

The group's coupled microcantilevers measure mass on the cellular and subcellular scale by using self-excited oscillation, a process in which the feedback of an oscillating body controls the phase of ...
