If GPS satellites don’t take into account the Earth’s changing rotational speed, their positioning data can quickly become unusable. Earth’s slowdown will be welcome news for international ...

Caption a - h The observed power spectrum at the indicated rotational speed over a data collection period of 20 s. i Detailed power spectrum with 0 - 1000 Hz at 100 r/s. j The measured results at ...

An electronic tachometer is a straightforward enough device, in which the light reflections from a white spot on a rotating object are detected and counted over time, measuring the revolutions per ...

Scientists found winds on WASP-127b moving at 33,000 km/h. These are the fastest jetstream winds ever recorded on any planet ...

The theory behind this idea relates to a phenomenon known as the "moment of inertia," which explains how the distribution of ...

Until now, there has not been an effective way to assess the risk of rotational brain injury in crash tests. However, thanks ...

The observed rotational speed of Earth is measured against what an atomic clock says is the length of the day. That produces a figure called Delta T, the difference between what we think the ...

Scientists in China have conceived a lifecycle-based average consensus algorithm that can purportedly balance power in ...

The Fugaku supercomputer could help researchers shed light on another mystery. The difference in rotation speeds is said to play a key role in the emergence every 11 years of more sunspots and ...
