While Earth's slowdown is not noticeable on human timescales, it's enough to work significant changes over eons. One of those ...

We have been taught from the very beginning that a day on earth consists of 24 hours; however scientists have now begun to ...

To better understand the circadian clock in modern-day cyanobacteria, a Japanese research team has studied ancient ...

The 24-hour day we’re used to might not stay the same forever. Scientists say Earth’s rotation is gradually slowing down ...

For a while, the scientists reported, the core’s rotation matched Earth’s spin. Then it slowed even more, until the core was moving backward relative to the fluid layers around it. At the time ...

The world is hungry for renewable sources of energy, which has led some scientists to ask the question: what about the rotation of the Earth? A new study reports that researchers have successfully ...

Think humans play a relatively small role in how Earth moves in space? It turns out we’re changing how our very planet rotates — and it’s affecting the length of our days. For billions of ...

More evidence is needed before anyone can conclude that the voltage truly results from Earth’s rotation, says Wijngaarden. Physicists could test whether the experiment gives different results at ...

Decades worth of seismic data confirms the rotation of Earth's inner core is moving slower than the planet's surface. The rotation of Earth's inner core began to slow down more than a decade ago ...

Ever since its formation around 4.5 billion years ago, Earth's rotation has been gradually slowing down, and its days have gotten progressively longer as a result. While Earth's slowdown is not ...
