Global warming has slightly slowed the Earth’s rotation — and it could affect how we measure time. A study published Wednesday found that the melting of polar ice — an accelerating trend ...

Ever since its formation around 4.5 billion years ago, Earth's rotation has been gradually slowing down, and its days have ...

"Even if the Earth's rotation is changing only slowly, this effect has to be taken into account when navigating in space—for example, when sending a space probe to land on another planet," Soja ...

But in general, Earth's rotation has been slowing for millennia, mainly due to a process known as lunar tidal friction, in which the moon's gravitational effect on our oceans pulls water away from ...

That might not sound like much, but when we’re talking about the Earth’s rotation, every billionth of a second can have a massive effect on our planet and the parts of our world that rely on ...

(Courtesy: Marco Di Vita) A new experiment has measured the effect of Earth’s rotation on entangled states of light. The experiment, which features an optical fibre-based device called a Sagnac ...

Because the spinning of the inner core affects movement in the outer core, inner core rotation is thought to help power Earth’s magnetic field, though more research is required to unravel its ...

"In any conductor carried by Earth's rotation, the effect of this force is to rapidly redistribute electrons, until the resulting electrostatic field E=−∇V perfectly cancels the driving force." ...

Now, some scientists are considering a completely new renewable energy source: the Earth’s rotation ... and behavior under rotation predicted by our effect, demonstrating that the observed ...
