Perhaps this is why I’ve found such resonance in the work of American geologist Marcia Bjornerud, who urges us to begin ...

July 9 was unusually short thanks to changes in how fast the Earth is spinning. But two other days this summer are expected ...

Time keeps on slipping - literally. Why today might have been the shortest day you’ll ever experience - Earth is projected to ...

The science behind why the Earth will spin just a little bit faster on July 9, July 22, and August 5, this year.

Experts project that this “waste of time” will probably be repeated in 2025. According to Jones, this could happen on three ...

Due to the way Earth's rotation is measured, Wednesday, July 9 will technically lose time. Here's why you most likely won't ...

Scientists anticipate that Earth's rotation will quicken enough to create three shorter days between July and August, starting Wednesday, July 9.

While that tiny time difference is imperceptible to humans, it represents part of a broader pattern that has left scientists ...

Researchers from the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS)/SOKENDAI and Kyushu University have uncovered the molecular mechanism that drives the "ticking" of the circadian clock in cyanobacteria.

The word ‘circadian’ is derived from the Latin words circa which means ‘about’ and dies meaning day. The earth’s day-night cycle directly impacts the biological clock of all living ...

Thanks to a speed-up of Earth's rotation, the length of the astronomical day and the length of the clock day aren't quite matching up. Eventually, international timekeepers may need to subtract a ...

Supersensitive clocks that can detect minute changes in the passing of time—as shown in the time-dilation experiment—could be used to detect gravitational waves that pass through Earth as a ...
