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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

TESTA Analytical Solutions e.K reports how its real time flowmeter can be used to determine average flow rate as well as peak values of pulsation, thereby enabling selection of the most appropriate ...

I have a challenge for you. It is sort of like the Car Talk Puzzler except that there isn't one correct answer. So, a while ago I was looking at this super bounce ball. It was my kid's toy, so I just ...

Researchers at MIT and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have developed a new way to determine whether individual patients will respond to a specific cancer drug or not. This kind of test could help ...
