The mass density of nanowires is determined using in situ resonance frequency experiments combined with quasi-static nanotensile tests. Our results reveal an average mass density of 7.36 g/cm3, which is below the theoretical density of bulk cobalt. The results are discussed in terms of the measurement accuracy and the microstructure of the nanowires.
