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 ...

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 ...

In science, there are thousands of ways to measure the world around us that the average person may never encounter. For example: Pascals to measure pressure, Candles to measure light intensity, and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
