The modern smartphone is only possible because of sensors. Their svelte form factor conceals accelerometers, magnetometers, temperature sensors, a GPS unit, and gyroscopes. They all consume volume and ...

NASA today said it would work with a team of researchers on a three-year, $1.8 project to build gyroscope systems that are more than 1,000 times as sensitive as those in use today. The Fast Light ...

Researchers built a prototype fiber optic gyroscope (pictured) for high resolution, real-time monitoring of ground rotations caused by earthquakes in an active volcanic area. The fibers are precisely ...

The article was posted online by Nature Photonics on October 19 and can be found here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41566-018-0266-5 Gyroscopes are devices that ...

There are two kinds of gyroscopes in widespread use for navigation and control: optical ones, which are extremely sensitive but also expensive, and microelectromechanical (MEMS) ones, which are ...

What do vehicles, drones and wearable/handheld devices have in common? They all utilize gyroscopes in determining their orientation in three-dimensional space. Gyroscopes used to be “sets of nested ...

A nodeless antiresonant fibre. (Courtesy: Gregory T Jasion, Optoelectronics Research Centre, University of Southampton) A new type of hollow-core optical fibre makes light-based gyroscopes up to 500 ...

Gyroscope designs used in inertial navigation systems (INS) fall into three basic groups: the classic spinning-rotor mechanical gyro (still in use in specialized situations due to its superior ...

A new tiny optical gyroscope fits on the tip of your finger and could find its way into drones and spacecraft in the future. Gyroscopes are devices that help vehicles, drones, and wearable and ...
