The leading explanation for all of these mysteries is known as the giant impact hypothesis. According to this story, when the ...

Scientists observed electron swirls in tantalum arsenide, revealing quantum vortex structures in momentum space.

Nearly two centuries after Faraday’s failed attempts, scientists have demonstrated that Earth's continuous spin can directly ...

The oddities don't stop there. The total angular momentum of Earth's spin, the moon's spin and the moon's orbit is very large — far higher than for any other terrestrial planet. So how did we ...

Despite the bounce and subsequent expansion, nothing can leave the event horizon, so it expands into a new region of ...

"On Earth, large-scale atmospheric waves caused ... that GWs facilitate the rapid vertical transfer of angular momentum, significantly influencing the meridional, or north-south, in the middle ...

Floating around at the edge of the Solar System are leftovers from its formation. This is the Kuiper Belt, which is composed ...

Unlike Earth, where Rossby waves dominate atmospheric circulation ... On Mars, they facilitate the vertical transfer of angular momentum, thereby influencing meridional circulation in the middle ...
