MEMS gyroscopes are self-contained rotation sensors that can be integrated with linear accelerometers to make single-chip inertial measurement units (IMUs) 1–3. Their small size and low cost have made ...

A new detection scheme that may lead to the world's smallest gyroscope has been uncovered by scientists. More than creative learning toys, gyroscopes are indispensable components in a number of ...

The first gyroscope was invented in 1852 by Leon Foucault (a traditional mechanical gyroscope of this general type is shown in Fig 1). Foucault thought that he could measure the rotation of the earth ...

Concept: Australian navigation technology company Advanced Navigation has rolled out a fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) inertial navigation system named Boreas. Boreas is based on Advanced Navigation’s new ...

In the age of surveillance paranoia, most smartphone users know better than to give a random app or website permission to use their device's microphone. But researchers have found there's another, ...

A pair of light waves - one zipping clockwise the other counterclockwise around a microscopic track - may hold the key to creating the world's smallest gyroscope: one a fraction of the width of a ...
