An investigation, carried out by the astrophysicists of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), questions one of the ...

Instead of copper wire wound around stator ridges, their coils run circumferentially, at right angles to the axis of rotation. The 3D flow of magnetic flux occurs ­a­xially through the stator, ...

Here’s all you need to know. Solstices occur because Earth’s axis of rotation is tilted about 23.4 degrees relative to Earth's orbit around the sun. This tilt drives our planet's seasons ...

The initially fast rotation becomes slower because the masses move away from the axis of rotation, increasing physical inertia. In physics, we speak of the law of conservation of angular momentum ...

The team also warned that the changes to Earth's rotational axis could alter the rotation of Earth's inner core, which could further increase how fast days lengthen. However, this potential ...
