Magnetic rotation and antimagnetic rotation represent distinct mechanisms by which atomic nuclei generate angular momentum in systems that exhibit little or no permanent quadrupole deformation. In ...

Climate change is causing the ice masses in Greenland and Antarctica to melt. Water from the polar regions is flowing into the world’s oceans –and especially into the equatorial region. “This means ...

A new type of gyroscope based on interfering atoms has been developed that can determine the latitude where the instrument is located – and also measure true north and the Earth’s rate of rotation.

The Earth in orbit around the Sun, with its rotational axis shown. Earth's axial tilt does not change appreciably in direction or magnitude over the course of a day or even a year, which is why the ...

Earth’s Rotation Day 2026, observed on January 8, highlights how Earth’s constant rotation shapes day and night, climate, weather, and life itself, celebrating science, discovery, and human curiosity.

With human-caused climate change, we puny creatures are having some powerful effects on our entire planet, including one you might not imagine was possible — making it spin more slowly. The melting of ...
