image: An international team of scientists has managed for the first time to observe the 'nutation' of spins in magnetic materials (the oscillations of their axis during precession). The measured ...
THE following account of a simple experiment may be of interest to some of the readers of NATURE. The common peg-top and tee-totum are commonly referred to as affording a good example of the ...
Abstracts of the Papers Printed in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, Vol. 4 (1837 - 1843), pp. 129-130 (2 pages) ...
The results of the 250-day experiment were published in the renowned scientific journal Science Advances. Lead author Prof. K. Ulrich Schreiber from the TUM Institute of Engineering for Astronomical ...
The Earth is not the steady round rock we think it is, and it’s not turning the graceful circles we imagine. Every little-bit-more-than-a-year, we make a sort of wobble in space called a nutation. Why ...
The equations of motion of a satellite are given in a general form, account being taken of the precession and nutation of the earth. The main part of the paper deals with the motion arising from the ...
