Is BMI the best way to assess weight and health? (Photo illustration: Jack Forbes/Yahoo Life; photos: Getty Images) Body mass index (BMI) is a simple tool for assessing whether an individual falls ...

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 ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

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 ...

Using a state-of-the-art device for measuring mass, researchers have made their most precise determination yet of Planck's constant, an important value in science that will help to redefine the ...

A study of 200,000 adults suggests that a metric accounting for waist circumference and height is a strong predictor of ...

Scientists have achieved the most precise measurement to date of the mass of the W boson, one of nature's force-carrying particles. The measured value shows tension with the value expected based on ...
