We know Earth’s rotation on a cosmic scale, but seeing it close up requires quantum mechanics. Interferometry is the use of light waves, sound, etc., to identify changes in matter or motion. New ...

Astronomers have captured the first-ever spin measurements of HR 8799, the famed system that made history as the very first exoplanetary system to have its image taken. Discovered in 2008 by two ...

Table 1 Properties of Arecibo (1–16) and GBT (GBT-1 and GBT-2) bursts Figure 3: Magnitude of rotation measure versus dispersion measure for fast radio bursts and Galactic pulsars. Monitoring the ...

High-precision space-based gyroscopes are important in space science research and space engineering applications. In fundamental physics research, they can be used to test the general relativity ...

Spinning around: physicists have measured the effect of rotation on a quantum spin embedded in a diamond. (Courtesy: iStock/Gizmo) The effect of rapid rotation on a single quantum spin in a piece of ...

Global warming has slightly slowed the Earth’s rotation — and it could affect how we measure time. A study published Wednesday found that the melting of polar ice — an accelerating trend driven ...
