Astronomers have long been puzzled by a cosmic mystery: planets orbiting two stars—like Star Wars’ Tatooine—are surprisingly rare, even though they should be common. New research suggests the culprit ...

Precession-driven fluid dynamics concerns the intricate motions arising when a rotating body experiences a slow, conical motion of its spin axis, a phenomenon that is pivotal in both geophysical and ...

Toy gyroscopes can do all kinds of interesting tricks. The most mysterious one, precession, seems to defy gravity. By definition, precession refers to a change in the orientation of the rotational ...

The wobble of Earth’s axis is called precession. While most of us are familiar with our planet’s primary motions — rotation and revolution — few are aware of precession. This characteristic is vividly ...

Last November, Quantum Design and NanoMEGAS invited industry and research professionals to learn more about the theoretical and practical applications of Precession Electron Diffraction (PED).
