New spacecraft techniques propose using CubeSats, laser rangefinding, and precise Doppler measurements to determine the mass ...

Neutrino mass measurements remain one of the most challenging endeavours in contemporary physics. Direct measurement techniques, particularly those probing the endpoint of the tritium β-decay spectrum ...

At the University of Oxford, Justin Benesch studies assemblies made between proteins called molecular chaperones and the proteins they protect in cells. These assemblies slow the formation of amyloid ...

Neutrino mass measurement techniques represent a cornerstone of modern particle physics and cosmology. Given the elusive nature of neutrinos, experimental approaches have evolved to measure their ...

"For asteroids of the size scale relevant to planetary defense (i.e., ∼50-500 m), the mass can only be directly measured ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- One of the tiniest building blocks of the universe has a weigh-in problem, and Ashutosh Kotwal is determined to get to the bottom of it. For nearly 30 years, the Duke physicist has led ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, pinned down both the mass and distance of a planet that drifts through the galaxy without a parent star, turning a once purely theoretical class of worlds into a ...

Batavia, Ill. -- The world's most precise measurement of the mass of the W boson, one of nature's elementary particles, has been achieved by scientists from the CDF and DZero collaborations at the ...

The detection of the Higgs boson at CERN in 2012 is one of the biggest scientific discoveries of the decade. In the years since, scientists have been carefully measuring its properties, and now the ...
