Winter in some parts of South Africa is a time of low (or no) rainfall and high fire danger. Sheldon Strydom studies the relationship between weather and fire, in particular how Berg winds, also known ...

Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre ...

July 9 was predicted to have a shorter "length of day" than usual due to an increase in Earth's rotation speed. See which other days will be shorter ...

This paper discusses the Magnetron with Diffraction Output (MDO) with transparent cathode and a permanent magnet configuration. Conventionally, to produce an axial magnetic field, a pulsed power ...

The letters stand for jack, queen, king and ace, and the suit completes the hint. For example, the clue [K♣︎] at 27A is king ...

The science behind why the Earth will spin just a little bit faster on July 9, July 22, and August 5, this year.

Finally, we will get to see a test of the IVO quantum drive which is a propellentless drive. If it is successful in raising ...

Thanks to atomic clocks (and all the worldly forces that influence them), scientists know that Earth's rotation has begun to ...

Scientists anticipate that Earth's rotation will quicken enough to create three shorter days between July and August, starting Wednesday, July 9.

The previous record for the shortest day was set in 2020 with a 1.47 milliseconds less in 86,400 seconds, and then, in 2022, with 1.66 milliseconds less in a day’s rotation, as reported by the Daily ...

Comparison of the frequencies of distant primary standards calls for the computation of their relativistic rate shift (gravitational+second-order Doppler shift) with an uncertainty lower than that ...

A hefty docket is in store for the upcoming Penetanguishene meetings this week in both regular council and committee of the whole.
