Accurately sensing rotation is important to a variety of technologies, from today's smartphones to navigational instruments that help keep submarines, planes, and satellites on course. In a paper ...

Researchers have demonstrated a compact atomic gyroscope design that could, with further development, be portable, low power, and accurate enough to be used for navigation. Shrink rays may exist only ...

Chinese researchers say they have developed a “groundbreaking” fibre-optic gyroscope that is stable across a large temperature range and can be used for navigation. According to the team from the ...

One of the most colorful stories getting press these at the moment is the escape of Joaquín Guzmán Loera, a drug kingpin known as "El Chapo," from a Mexican prison. El Chapo made his getaway through ...

Scientists at research institute CEA-Leti, in collaboration with researchers at Politecnico di Milano, have claimed the smallest MEMS gyroscope that is capable of providing navigation-grade ...

Researchers have taken an important new step in advancing the performance of resonator fiber optic gyroscopes, a type of fiber optic sensor that senses rotation using only light. Because gyroscopes ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A team of Chinese scientists has reportedly developed a new fibre-optic gyroscope that is stable across a wide range of ...

An Irish navigation gyroscope will guide a European space mission carrying four Earth observation satellites and another to measure global greenhouse gas distribution, set to launch from French Guiana ...

Researchers discuss “large ring laser gyroscopes” that are six orders of magnitude more sensitive than gyroscopes commercially available. Accurately sensing rotation is important to a variety of ...
