Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...

The planet’s rotation fluctuates as it travels around the sun, and measurements suggest we’re losing more than a millisecond during the long days of summer.

The Earth is predicted to make its fastest rotations on July 9, July 10, July 22 and August 5, according to a Time and Date ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Thanks to atomic clocks (and all the worldly forces that influence them), scientists know that Earth's rotation has begun to ...

On July 9, 2025, scientists at the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) reported that the Earth completed its rotation approximately 1.3 to 1.6 milliseconds faster than ...

Magnetic rotation and antimagnetic rotation represent distinct mechanisms by which atomic nuclei generate angular momentum in systems that exhibit little or no permanent quadrupole deformation.

Our respondents are quick to point out the issues with using Earth’s rotation to get to a destination, not least the ...

Ever wondered if human ingenuity could literally shift our planet? Turns out, it can – albeit ever so slightly.

Scientists have found that Earth is spinning slightly faster than normal, resulting in shorter days, though the reason ...
