Earth’s rotation changes by tiny amounts all the time. A new study suggests that ...

A battle of forces, driven by the motion of Earth’s core, can explain small variations in the planet’s rotation, study finds.

Variations in day length that occur on multidecadal timescales are caused by gravitational coupling between Earth’s inner core and its solid mantle.

Days are getting longer as a result of climate change, as warmer temperatures lead to a slowing of Earth’s rotation at a rate scientists say has not been seen for at least 3.6 million years. New ...

Dead satellites and drift-prone GPS coordinates aren't your phone's fault — they're side effects of something unprecedented happening to our planet. Climate change is slowing Earth's rotation at the ...

We’ve probably all had a few conversations with people who hold eccentric scientific ideas, and most of the time they yield nothing more than frustration and perhaps a headache. In [Bertrand Selva]’s ...

Something invisible and immense is happening beneath your feet. Published research from the University of Vienna and ETH Zurich now establishes that human activity has pushed the planet's rotation ...

We like to think of our home as a nice, smooth sphere. But mapping the Earth’s gravitational field provides a different view of the planet. a new visualization of Earth looks nothing like the Blue ...

The Earth we live on looks like a beautiful blue sphere when viewed from outer space. However, from the strict perspective of geodesy and geophysics, the Earth is not a perfect 'true sphere.' In ...

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons – both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought “why not start a website ...
