The Earth takes approximately 24 hours to rotate on its axis but this established fact is seeing some major seismic changes. According to scientists, on July 29, 2022, Earth completed a full spin ...

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 ...
A controversial new study has claimed that it is possible to generate electricity using the Earth's rotation, its magnetic field, and a surprisingly simple device. If replicated, that could be ...
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 ...
In their study, published in the journal Physical Review Research, Christopher Chyba, Kevin Hand and Thomas Chyba tested a theory that electricity could be generated from the Earth's rotation ...
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 ...
It might sound unbelievable, but the way we pump and use groundwater is actually tilting the Earth and impacting its rotation. A study reveals that over the span of just two decades, human ...
The impact of melting ice could eventually even outpace the Moon's effects on Earth's rotation. The science is clear about global temperatures—they're going up, and human activities are to blame.
"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 ...
For a while, core and the Earth's rotation matched. Later, the rotation speed of the Earth's core reduced even more until it started moving in reverse direction.
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.
