Astronomers have found a clever new way to slice and dice the flickering light from a distant star in a way that reveals its surface gravity, one of the key properties that astronomers use to ...

The goal of biomonitoring is to quantitatively assess environmental or occupational chemical exposure by measuring either the parent chemical or its metabolite in various specimen samples. Single spot ...

A group of theoretical physicists, including two physicists from the University of Groningen, have proposed a 'table-top' device that could measure gravity waves. However, their actual aim is to ...

Around 10,000 people die in earthquakes each year, and between 2.6 and 3.1 million people are estimated to die in quakes in the coming century. Once a quake is triggered, each second that ticks by is ...

You might expect that, all these years after Newton, we might have a good measure of his gravitational constant, G. As the authors of a new paper on the topic note, there are plenty of reasons to want ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract • Premise of the study: Wood specific gravity (WSG) mediates an interspecific trade-off between growth and mortality and is a key measure for ...

A group of theoretical physicists have proposed a 'table-top' device that could measure gravity waves. However, their actual aim is to answer one of the biggest questions in physics: is gravity a ...
