Christopher Chyba held a hollow, dark cylinder made of manganese, zinc, and iron in his Princeton lab, looking skeptically at ...

A new study reports that researchers have successfully used a meticulously designed cylinder to harness electricity as it ...

Experiments suggest an unusual magnetic material could help harness energy from Earth’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected water vapor and thick clouds on LTT 9779 b, an ultra-hot Neptune locked in a ...

By the laws of physics, the slowest the Earth could slow its spin would be 1 rotation every 365 days. That situation is called "sun-synchronous" and would force one side of our planet to always ...

Each planet has a different timeframe for complete rotation around the sun so all of them coming into alignment to be visible from Earth is a rare sight. The next alignment of five planets or more ...

The study suggests changes are occurring deep within our planet, which could have implications ... and in the opposite direction relative to the rotation of the Earth's surface.

WASP-121b is so close to its star that tidal forces have locked its rotation in a "resonance": the planet always shows the same face to its star, like the moon to the Earth. Therefore, one side of ...

Faint signatures detected by the Canada France Hawaii Telescope have revealed 128 new moons around Saturn, making it the ...

A Kansas University expert has outlined why he believes images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope provide evidence the ...
