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 ...

This discovery, though modest, revives a scientific debate nearly two centuries old. The idea of generating electricity from Earth's rotation isn't new. Yet a team led by Christopher Chyba (Princeton ...

Electricity can be generated from the energy of Earth rotating through its own magnetic field—according to a provocative claim put forward by physicists this week. The findings are controversial ...

The video has been shot from the Indian Astronomical Observatory in Hanle. Indian astronomer Dorje Angchuk has captured a breathtaking time-lapse video that showcases the Earth's rotation against ...

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist ...

In fact, within the next few years the time nerds of the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS), the body that decides when leap seconds should fall, may need to implement an entirely novel ...

A multi-institutional team of geoscientists has found evidence that the Earth's rotation slows in a staircase pattern, with two stable periods that stand out. In their study, published in the ...

"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 ...

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 ...

We know Earth’s rotation on a cosmic scale, but seeing it close up requires quantum mechanics. Interferometry is the use of light waves, sound, etc., to identify changes in matter or motion.

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 ...
