Entangled atoms, separated in space, are giving scientists a powerful new way to measure the world with stunning precision.

The Hubble Space Telescope has been used to determine the mass of white dwarf star LAWD 37. It is "56 percent the mass of our ...

Buoyancy corrections can become important when the density of the object being weighed is very different from the density of the masses employed for the calibration function. For example, this is true ...

An artist’s depiction shows a planet bending and magnifying the light of a distant background star through gravitational lensing. (Image: J. Skowron, K. Ulaczyk/OGLE) Astronomers have, for the first ...

Not all planets have the luxury of orbiting a star. Some wander the galaxy in solitude, untethered and invisible, until now... Astronomers have measured the mass and distance of one of these rogue ...

Not all planets are lucky enough to live in a neighborhood like our Solar System – some are doomed to roam the cosmos alone. Astronomers have now, for the first time, measured the mass of, and ...

While most planets that we are familiar with stick relatively close to their host star in a predictable orbit, some planets seem to have been knocked out of their orbits, floating through space free ...

Since these planets are isolated, without stars, and don't have light of their own, even some of the powerful telescopes might miss their presence. Astronomers rely on a phenomenon called microlensing ...

Abstract: Hyperspectral (HS) and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) observation instruments capture and measure on-ground object properties from complementary perspectives, garnering increasing ...
