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. In ...

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

Earth’s rotation has been measured many times over — but never like this. In a first, scientists used entangled quantum particles called photons to reveal the rate at which the globe spins. The feat ...

We know Earth’s rotation on a cosmic scale, but seeing it close up requires quantum mechanics. Interferometry is the use of light waves, sound, etc., to identify changes in matter or motion. New ...

All in a spin: Two indistinguishable photons (red lines) are incident on a beamsplitter cube and become entangled. The two photons are then coupled into an optical fibre-based interferometer, which is ...

Runoff from irrigation has moved so much water from land to sea that Earth’s rotation might have measurably shifted. Computer simulations suggest that from 1993 through 2010, irrigation alone nudged ...
