STMicroelectronics has introduced a 3-axis digital gyroscope that employs a single sensing structure for motion measurement along all three orthogonal axes. The innovative design approach increases ...

STMicroelectronics has expanded the company's motion-sensor portfolio with a broad range of thirteen new single- and two-axis gyroscopes. With more than a 50 percent shrink in volume over previous ST ...

Ocean waves are a vast and steady source of renewable energy, but capturing their power efficiently has long frustrated ...

Research from The University of Osaka highlights a new model of a gyroscopic wave energy converter. The device was shown to be capable of absorbing up to half of incoming wave energy across a wide ...

Researchers have built a prototype fiber optic gyroscope for high resolution, real-time monitoring of ground rotations caused by earthquakes in the active volcanic area of Campi Flegrei in Naples, ...

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 ...

The MEMS gyroscope has impacted so much of our everyday lives, in particular in consumer electronics, that engineers now design systems with this as an essential component. In the age of model-based ...

The invisible sensor network that powers your phone's smartest features.

Back in the old days, finding out your location on Earth was a pretty involved endeavor. You had to look at stars, use fancy gimballed equipment to track your motion, or simply be able to track your ...
