Global warming is flooding low-lying coastal regions, but it’s drying out the land beyond. The most serious consequences of ...

Experts analyze climate models and satellite data to find the link between increasing arid soil and Earth's rotation.

According to a report in Science, researchers have determined that water on land, which includes soil moisture levels, underground aquifers, lakes, rivers and other water-holding surfaces, has been ...

This, in turn, changes the Earth’s axis of rotation. The researchers studied data from 1900 to 2018 and used simulations to model how the melting of ice sheets and glaciers will affect Earth’s ...

For decades, scientists believed Vesta, one of the largest objects in our solar system's asteroid belt, wasn't just an ...

Earth’s rotation feels steady, but beneath that illusion of constancy lies a subtle truth: the planet’s spin is shifting. The axis around which Earth rotates isn’t fixed. It wanders, sways, and drifts ...

Pluto was discovered in 1930 in Arizona, but in 2006 scientists decided to cut Pluto from the planetary line up. Here is why ...

The Earth can be compared to a spinning ball. If its mass distribution changes, its axis of rotation shifts, a phenomenon known as ‘polar motion’. Research by NASA and other institutions indicates ...

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

EPFL researchers succeeded in sending and storing data using charge-free magnetic waves called spin waves, rather than ...

A team of physicists is investigating whether the Earth's rotational energy could be a source of sustainable power.
