The electronics inside consumer gadgets are often miniaturized versions of bigger components – like phone cameras, for instance – and that applies to the gyroscopes used to help a device orientate ...

ANN ARBOR--A small, inexpensive and highly accurate gyroscope, developed at the University of Michigan, could help drones and autonomous cars stay on track without a GPS signal. "Our gyroscope is ...

Forward-looking: Future electronics still have room to get a lot smaller. New techniques for creating optical gyroscopes may make motion and orientation detection significantly better all while chips ...

Scientists have developed the world’s smallest optical gyroscope — device that helps vehicles, drones, and wearable and handheld electronic devices know their orientation in three-dimensional space.

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 ...

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 ...

Japanese scientists have reported that small gyroscopes lose weight when spun under certain conditions, apparently in defiance of gravity. If proved correct, the finding would mark a stunning ...

Entomologists and mechanical engineers ordinarily have little to do with one another. The first study bugs; the second design machinery. But last week the Sperry Gyroscope Co., designers of highbrow ...

Even before von Lilienthal's sug- gestion, Etrich and Weis had patented a similar idea, but had abandoned it during construction. $ While no experiments were made, more mature consideration led to the ...

A small, inexpensive and highly accurate gyroscope could help drones and autonomous cars stay on track without a GPS signal. A small, inexpensive and highly accurate gyroscope, developed at the ...
