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 ...

This article discusses the various control mechanisms for MEMS Coriolis Vibratory Gyroscopes (CVG), and how they can be applied with the commercial off-the-shelf HF2LI Lock-in Amplifier. A MEMS ...

Murata recently introduced the SCC2000 series of combined accelerometer and gyroscope sensor devices aimed at use in automotive and industrial applications. Murata recently announced the SCC2000 ...

CHARLES DRAPER, WHOSE EPONYMOUS LABORATORY developed the guidance systems for Apollo spacecraft, referred to inertial navigation as “astronomy in a closet.” It is based on a celestial reference system ...

In the IDG-2000 dual-axis MEMS gyroscope, designers of digital still cameras and high-resolution camera phones will find a smaller and thinner gyroscope suited for improving optical image ...

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 ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, a cornerstone of astronomical research for over three decades, is transitioning to a one-gyroscope operational mode following a series of technical issues (via Gizmodo).

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 ...
