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

For thousands of years, scientists have known that the Earth is tilted on its axis. In addition to this steady tilt of 23.5 ...

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

Chiang Mai radio antenna and another being built in southern Thailand expected to aid GPS, climate research and quake forecasting.

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 ...

"This means that a shift in mass is taking place, and this is affecting the Earth's rotation," explains Benedikt Soja, Professor of Space Geodesy at the Department of Civil, Environmental and ...

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 ...

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 ...
