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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
