The Earth is predicted to increase its rotation speed in July and August, once again bucking the trend of a slower rotation over time. Though there are clear reasons for the increased rotational speed ...

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 ...

Planet Earth is spinning a little faster today — resulting in one of the shortest days of the year. But the change will be so minuscule you won’t even notice. We’re talking even less time than the ...

A spinning gyroscope doesn't lock onto the Earth, it locks onto the universe, so how do ships coax it into pointing north? From gyroscopic precession to the Sagnac effect, here's the surprisingly ...
