If you feel like you never have enough hours in the day to do everything you want to do, don't worry. You just have to wait ...

Physicists at NASA and Princeton generate electricity from the Earth's rotation: could wind energy be our energy source of the future?

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 ...

The Earth's rotation is about to accelerate significantly. According to scientists, July 9, July 22, and August 5 of this year will be some of the shortest days in recent memory as a result, slicing ...

Earth’s rotation is slowly slowing, scientists say, meaning days are getting longer, though the change takes millions of ...

Researchers from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Curtin University in ...

Our 24-hour day measures Earth’s rotation relative to the Sun, known as a solar day. This is slightly longer than Earth’s ...

While the Earth on June 29 did indeed record its shortest day since the adoption of the atomic clock standard in 1970 — at 1.59 milliseconds less than 24 hours — scientists say this is a normal ...

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe talks to John Vidale, professor of earth sciences at the University of Southern California, about new research suggesting the rotation of Earth's inner core may be slowing down.

The rotation of the Earth's inner core may be reversing, scientists have found in a study that sheds new light on geological processes occurring deep within our planet. The results of the research, ...

In the 1850s British railway companies started introducing a single standard time to make their timetables consistent. Before that, every city would set its own clock based on the observation of the ...
