"The current rapid rise in day length can thus be attributed primarily to human influences," said professor Benedikt Soja.

Planet Earth is spinning a little faster today — resulting in one of the shortest days of the year. But the change will be so minuscule you won’t even notice. We’re talking even less time than the ...

Looking out to the future, we see a gradual but also very important shift occurring right under our feet; the Earth's own ...

Researchers carried out a pioneering experiment where they measured the effect of the rotation of Earth on quantum entangled photons. The work represents a significant achievement that pushes the ...

But new research suggests a new player is making an impact: us. By studying foraminifera, tiny single-celled marine organisms that leave behind fossil shells, a team of researchers from the University ...

Time is not on your side this summer. The Earth is set to have three remarkably shorter than average days in the coming weeks as the Earth’s rotation unexpectedly accelerates, according to scientists.
