A new study reports that researchers have successfully used a meticulously designed cylinder to harness electricity as it passed through Earth’s magnetic field.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

As ice sheets melt and ocean mass gets redistributed around the planet, Earth's geographic North and South poles could shift up to 89 feet (27 meters) by 2100 as the planet's axis of rotation ...

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 ...

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

the researchers found — which is in the same ballpark as the amount the Moon's pull slows the Earth's rotation over the same period. Subscribe to our daily newsletter to keep in touch with the ...

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.
