Scientists have raised concerns that the Earth's inner core may completely halt its rotation by 2040, according to a recent paper published in Nature. The study suggests changes are occurring deep ...

Black holes have such extreme gravity that not even light can escape. They have been caught shredding entire stars and can ...

This preferred direction of spin might be due to one of two reasons: either our entire universe exists in a black hole, or ...

Wow, maybe we really should reverse Earth's rotation! But hold on. If the Trade Winds reverse direction, it means that other wind patterns change too. Including the Prevailing Westerlies that ...

It was the first satisfactory demonstration of the earth's rotation using laboratory apparatus rather than astronomical observations. If you start a Foucault Pendulum swinging in one direction, after ...

The idea dates back hundreds of years, when scientists first began to suggest that the difference in velocity – the speed of something in a given direction ... angle to Earth's rotation ...

In a random universe, the number of galaxies that rotate in one direction should be roughly ... from galaxies rotating the ...

One long line of powerful winds can whip up dust storms, spread wildfires, spin up tornadoes and fuel blizzards – all at the ...

They then oriented the cylinder in a north-south direction set at a 57° angle ... suggesting that it was due to the energy from the Earth's rotation. The researchers note that they accounted ...

Another possible explanation is related to the Earth's rotation around the center of the Milky Way. This motion could create a Doppler effect, making galaxies rotating in the opposite direction appear ...

Now Chyba and co have shown that such a conductor can extract electrical energy directly from Earth's rotation through its own magnetic ... but with the current and voltage in the opposite direction.

Back in the Royal Institution lecture theatre, Dr Kevin Fong uses a student to demonstrate how the rotation of the ... aligned with the direction that the Earth rotates in. This clip is from ...
