Wide binary stars with separation greater than about 2000 astronomical units are interesting natural laboratories that allow a direct probe of gravity at low acceleration weaker than about 1 nanometer ...

The device, a new type of atom "interferometer," could one day help people navigate submarines, spacecraft, cars and other vehicles more precisely. "Traditional atom interferometers can only measure ...

Helmholtz Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), which conducts long-term research in the fields of energy, health and matter, has announced the development of a new diagnostic tool specified for a ...

You're going at the speed limit down a two-lane road when a car barrels out of a driveway on your right. You slam on the brakes, and within a fraction of a second of the impact an airbag inflates, ...

In a new study, physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have used a cloud of atoms chilled down to incredibly cold temperatures to simultaneously measure acceleration in three dimensions—a ...

Addressing the increasing demand to accurately measure acceleration in smaller navigation systems and other devices, researchers have developed an accelerometer a mere millimeter thick that uses laser ...
