Earth's rotation is speeding up, causing days to shorten by a fraction of a second since 2020. Scientists predict that a leap ...

The fifth-most abundant gas in the universe, the most pervasive on earth, there is roughly three times more nitrogen in the air than oxygen. While it only constitutes a mere 3% of our body weight ...
Scientists Turned the Earth’s Rotation Into 17 Microvolts of Electricity. That Could Be Revolutionary. In trying to solve Earth’s climate problem, the answer might be Earth itself.

NASA reports that the construction and operation of China's Three Gorges Dam have slightly slowed Earth's rotation by 0.06 microseconds. This effect is due to the redistribution of water mass ...
When the Continental Army made camp at Valley Forge during the American Revolution, times were tough. The winter was bitter cold, there was disease and hunger.
In yet another unprecedented effect of climate change, scientists find that the melting polar ice caps have caused the earth to spin slower. This can lead to minuscule changes in the actual ...
In physics, we speak of the law of conservation of angular momentum, and this same law also governs the Earth's rotation. If the Earth turns more slowly, the days get longer.
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.
