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 ...

The Sun turns, but not in the way a solid object would. It has no hard surface, no fixed edge to follow. What scientists describe as solar rotation comes from watching patterns move across a glowing, ...

A new type of gyroscope based on interfering atoms has been developed that can determine the latitude where the instrument is located – and also measure true north and the Earth’s rate of rotation.

The Earth in orbit around the Sun, with its rotational axis shown. Earth's axial tilt does not change appreciably in direction or magnitude over the course of a day or even a year, which is why the ...

Did you know that, at a certain point on a moving wheel... there's no motion? Did you know that, at a certain point on a moving wheel... there's no motion? I mean, kinda... it's all relative, right?
