In 1607, a comet appeared over Europe. This was Halley’s comet, later named after the astronomer who successfully predicted its reappearance and 75-year orbit in 1759. However, in 1607, it was just ...

Scientists have created the fastest spinning man-made object in the world: an incredibly small "dumbbell" that can complete more than 60 billion rotations per second, which is around 100,000 times ...

Researchers have developed a real-time imaging system that can capture images of fast-spinning objects over long durations. Real-time monitoring of rotating parts such as the turbine blades used in ...

Scientists have created a microscopic sphere and set it awhirl at a blistering 600 million rotations per minute. The sphere, which rotates 500,000 times faster than the average washing machine, is the ...

A team of researchers claims to have created the world's fastest spinning man-made object. They were able to levitate and spin a microscopic sphere at speeds of up to 600 million revolutions per ...

Objects rotating at high speed are a feature of modern engineering in various fields, and online inspection of them is a critical challenge. A project at China's Jinan University has now developed a ...

Scientists create the world's fastest spinning man-made object Microscopic sphere rotated at speeds of 600 million RPM using lasers.
