The Three Gorges Dam, the world’s largest hydroelectric power station, has long symbolized engineering ambition and energy ...

Several theories suggest that Earth's core is rotating independently of our spinning planet. Latest research by scientists has revealed that the rotation speed of Earth's core is slowing down ...

While Earth's slowdown is not noticeable on human timescales, it's enough to work significant changes over eons. One of those ...

Earth's inner core is a roughly moon-size chunk of solid iron and nickel that lies more than 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers) below our feet. It is surrounded by the outer core — a superhot layer ...

The world is hungry for renewable sources of energy, which has led some scientists to ask the question: what about the rotation of the Earth? A new study reports that researchers have successfully ...

Electricity can be generated from the energy of Earth rotating through its own magnetic field—according to a provocative claim put forward by physicists this week. The findings are controversial ...

The 24-hour day we’re used to might not stay the same forever. Scientists say Earth’s rotation is gradually slowing down ...

Ever since its formation around 4.5 billion years ago, Earth's rotation has been gradually slowing down, and its days have gotten progressively longer as a result. While Earth's slowdown is not ...
