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 ...

A team of Chinese scientists has reportedly developed a new fibre-optic gyroscope that is stable across a wide range of temperatures. The development could prove crucial for military, deep-sea, or ...

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 ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Gyroscopes are devices that help vehicles, drones, and wearable and handheld electronic devices know their orientation in three-dimensional space. They are commonplace in just about ...

Optical gyroscopes are widely used in vehicle navigation. They use laser beams in a fibre-optic loop, and the beams produce interference when the device's orientation changes. Optical devices are more ...

The persistent narrative of cars that drive or planes that fly themselves will only come true if the on board systems can precisely determine where the vehicle is located at any time. In the aerospace ...

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 ...

Engineers now design systems and products that include MEMS sensors, particularly MEMS gyroscopes, as essential components. These applications range from portable and wearable devices to industrial ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

PASADENA, CA—Gyroscopes are devices that help vehicles, drones, and wearable and handheld electronic devices know their orientation in three-dimensional space. They are commonplace in just about every ...
