Moving from 3-axis to 5-axis machining? Yeah, it’s a big jump. And honestly, the hardest part isn’t learning new G-codes or figuring out your CAM software—it’s wrapping your head around how these ...

A recent groundbreaking study published in Geophysical Research Letters has revealed an astonishing new insight: Earth’s rotational axis has shifted 31.5 inches in less than two decades, largely due ...

The Earth wobbles. Like a spinning top touched in mid-spin, its rotational axis fluctuates in relation to space. This is partly caused by gravitation from the sun and the moon. At the same time, the ...

A recent study has shown that excessive groundwater extraction is causing significant changes in the Earth's rotation. This research, led by scientists from Seoul National University, highlights how ...

Let's review a bit of physics in preparation for Part 2 of our technology transfer series on page 28. All elements in a rotating body have a measure of kinetic energy. Simply stated, this is "energy ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. The Earth in orbit around the Sun, with its rotational axis shown.

Nearby planets can affect how one planet 'wobbles' on its spin axis, which contributes to seasons. Mark Garlick/Science Photo Library via Getty Images Spring, summer, fall and winter – the seasons on ...

Why do some galaxies spin like giant tops, while others appear stationary? This question has puzzled astronomers for decades, ...

Scientists have just plotted changes in Earth's axis through laboratory measurements. To do this, they constructed the world's most stable ring laser. Previously, scientists were only able to track ...
