A researcher in Israel has developed nano-sized optical gyroscopes that can fit on the head of a pin -- and, more usefully, on an average-sized computer chip -- without compromising the device's ...

Laser gyroscopes represent a pivotal technology in measuring Earth’s rotation with unmatched precision, utilising the Sagnac effect to detect minuscule angular variations. These instruments, often ...

Italian scientists dip deep for laser experiments to measure Earth’s rotational effects at greatest ever sensitivity. GINGERino ring laser gyroscope at the underground labs of INFN in Gran Sasso, ...

(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 ...

VANTAA, Finland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VTI Technologies’ proprietary 3D MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical System) technology enables extremely accurate gyroscopes to be designed and manufactured. According to ...

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 ...

There are an increasing number of applications that have a need to gather data from sensors located in very high temperature environments. In recent years there has been considerable progress in ...
