Scientists have discovered a rogue planet roaming the Milky Way after combining observations from Earth and a space telescope ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, pinned down both the mass and distance of a planet that drifts through the galaxy ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A team of MIT researchers has described a new method for finding the mass of exoplanets by studying the spectra of light passing through the planet's atmosphere. Because a planet's mass can tell us a ...

The response of a cantilever to bacteria deposited on it depends on the mechanical properties of the sample, as well as its mass. This effect needs to be considered in sensor design. Interest in the ...

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 ...
