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 ...

Researchers in Italy are hoping to measure Earth's rotation using a laser-based gyroscope installed deep underground, with enough experimental precision to reveal measurable effects of Einstein's ...

Gyroscope designs used in inertial navigation systems (INS) fall into three basic groups: the classic spinning-rotor mechanical gyro (still in use in specialized situations due to its superior ...
