For nearly a billion years, Earth’s rotation stopped slowing down. Locked in a rare cosmic balance, the planet’s day remained ...

Scientists in the United States have created a small device that produces a tiny electrical signal from Earth’s natural rotation. Although the voltage is extremely small, the experiment shows that ...

Physicists at NASA and Princeton generate electricity from the Earth's rotation: could wind energy be our energy source of ...

Does it feel like there's not enough time in the day for everything? Well, that could be because some upcoming days are actually getting shorter. In fact, today might just be the shortest day you'll ...

Earth's rotational speed is always fluctuating, varying by millisecond. However, our planet's rotation speed is decreasing overall. In 2023, the average length of day became longer for the first time ...

Planet Earth is spinning a little faster today — resulting in one of the shortest days of the year. But the change will be so minuscule you won’t even notice. We’re talking even less time than the ...

Ancient Chinese astronomers observed a solar eclipse in 709 BCE with remarkable detail. These old records are now helping ...

As the polar ice caps melt, the Earth actually slows down, California scientists say. Less ice at the Earth's poles and more water weight spread around to other places are leading to the planet ...
