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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
