Asteroids might seem like peaceful drifters suspended in space, but they’re really disturbed, spinning and tumbling in ...

Astronomers have discovered a strange spinning star that appears to be older than the explosion that gave birth to it, scientists say. The star is a pulsar, a rotating, super-dense core left behind ...

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic and luminous explosions in the universe. However, they are fleeting and often ...

A high schooler, Matteo Paz, won $250,000 for discovering 1.5 million new space objects with AI. Paz built an AI algorithm to search data from a NASA space telescope for objects such as black holes.

Centripetal force is the real inward pull that keeps objects moving in circles, while centrifugal force is the apparent outward push we only feel in rotation.

To demonstrate the system, the researchers showed that it could reconstruct real-time high-quality still images of a model jet engine rotating at about ∼2170 rpm (top images) and a CPU cooling fan ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

The planet Earth sculpture outside of Mission: SPACE is finally spinning once again. The exterior of Mission: SPACE has ...

Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla shared a video of his NASA training. He used the Multi-Axis Trainer. This machine simulates spacecraft tumbling. It helps astronauts stay calm. Astronauts learn to ...

When humanity first started studying motion, circles posed a peculiar puzzle. Why do planets sweep endlessly around the Sun without flying off into the void of space? Why does a stone swung on a ...

Objects rotating at high speed are a feature of modern engineering in various fields, and online inspection of them is a critical challenge. A project at China's Jinan University has now developed a ...

Researchers have developed a real-time imaging system that can capture images of fast-spinning objects over long durations. Real-time monitoring of rotating parts such as the turbine blades used in ...
