Hurricanes spin counterclockwise (like all low pressure centers in the northern hemisphere) because of the Coriolis Effect. Because the equator rotates faster than other areas of the Earth's surface, ...

Researchers have unseated a previous theory for the mechanism underlying bacterial flagella movement, changing our ...

Tornadoes do occur in the Southern Hemisphere, albeit at a greatly reduced frequency than in the Northern Hemisphere, primarily because it includes the U.S., which hosts about 75 percent of the ...

Scientists reveal how bacteria switch direction through a microscopic tug-of-war inside their motors, driven by energy and ...

Usually, tornadoes in the U.S. rotate counterclockwise. Coriolis force, imparted due to the Earth’s rotation, causes air around low centers to circulate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere.
