Abstract
The present status and recent results from direct mass measurements
of exotic nuclei are presented. ISOL, in-flight, and combined facilities
provide a wide variety of nuclides far-off stability covering a wide
range of half-lives down to the sub-millisecond region.
Modern direct mass measurements are carried out using frequency and
time-of-flight techniques.
The obtained accurate mass data point to nuclear-structure phenomena and
serve as a basis for astrophysical and weak-interaction studies.
