In a world chasing cleaner energy, a group of physicists may have uncovered a surprising new way to make power: by tapping ...

Buried more than 3,000 miles beneath our feet, Earth’s solid inner core was once thought to be unchanging—locked in place at the heart of the planet. But new research has revealed something much more ...

Figuring out the rotation period of the solar system’s giant planets is much harder than for the likes of Mars and Earth because ferocious wind storms make direct measurements impossible.

An international team of astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have made new measurements of Uranus' interior ...

A screenshot of James’s animation “Planets and dwarf planets to scale in size, rotation speed & axial tilt in distance order from Sun”. Credit must be given to the creator. Only ...

Electricity can be generated from the energy of Earth rotating through its own magnetic ... in doing so, cause the planet’s spinning to slow over time — although only slightly.

Experiments suggest that an unusual magnetic material can help harness energy from the planet’s rotation. But not everyone is convinced. Electricity can be generated from the energy of Earth ...
