Earth’s rotation is slowing, lengthening days by milliseconds due to the Moon and climate change. A 25-hour day is millions of years away. Learn more.

Researchers from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Curtin University in ...

The Earth's core is slowing down and now spinning in the opposite direction. What does this mean? The rotation of the Earth's core has changed, and scientists are wondering what could be causing it.

If you have ever heard that Earth will soon start having 25-hour days, it might be right. The idea itself is not wrong.

A new study offers compelling evidence that Earth's inner core reversed direction and is slowing down.

A billion years ago, days lasted 19 hours: the balance between the oceans, the atmosphere, and the Moon slowed down the Earth ...

Researchers carried out a pioneering experiment where they measured the effect of the rotation of Earth on quantum entangled photons. The work represents a significant achievement that pushes the ...

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

As rising global temperatures melt Earth’s polar ice sheets, the shifting water is creating such a huge redistribution of our planet’s mass that its rotation speed is dropping. This unusual result of ...

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 ...
