In theory, as Earth spins through its magnetic field, any conductive material placed on its surface should experience a force ...

Experiments suggest an unusual magnetic material could help harness energy from Earth’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

Experiments suggest that an unusual magnetic material can help harness energy from the planet’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

WASP-121b is so close to its star that tidal forces have locked its rotation in a "resonance": the planet always shows the same face to its star, like the moon to the Earth. Therefore, one side of ...

By analyzing seismic waves from earthquakes from the 1960s, researchers from Peking University deduced that the Earth's inner core has experienced a b ...

This makes a significant difference in the planet’s moment of inertia, which in turn slightly slows the rotation of Earth. The dam has prolonged the length of a day by 0.06 microseconds, according to ...

Even the icy planets in our solar system such as Neptune, Uranus or Jupiter's moon Europa, might have harboured plastic ice ...

Astronomers have discovered a panoply of new moons orbiting Saturn, bringing the ringed gas giant's total up to 274 moons—far ...

The New York Mets could look to land Cy Young pitcher Sandy Alcántara from the Miami Marlins to help bolster their rotation.

Scientists have found a new form of water, called "plastic ice VII," that could possibly exist on other planets. This unusual ...

Mars' atmosphere moves differently from Earth's due to gravity waves. These waves affect air circulation at high altitudes.
