A newly designed optical centrifuge allows scientists to control molecular rotation inside superfluid helium nano-droplets.

For nearly two centuries, scientists have wondered if Earth’s rotation through its magnetic field could produce electricity. The idea was first tested by Michael Faraday in 1832, but his experiments ...

The rotating room facility of the Ashton Graybiel Spatial Orientation Laboratory at Brandeis University was designed for studying the influence of unusual force environments on human sensory-motor ...

Research carried out at the University of Pennsylvania has definitively measured and described the Brownian motion of an isolated ellipsoidal particle, completing a path laid out by Einstein 100 years ...

American researchers have measured a tiny electrical voltage by exploiting Earth's magnetic field in the planet's rotational motion. This discovery, though modest, revives a scientific debate nearly ...

Using centuries old equations of fluid motion, supercomputers can be used to simulate turbulent flow in fine detail. But theoretical physicists are still unsure as to how these equations actually work ...
