Gyroscopes are used in various applications to sense either the angle turned through by a vehicle or structure (displacement gyroscopes) or, more commonly, its angular rate of turn about some defined ...

You don't necessarily need to feel alien towards such devices, examples of gyroscopes can be seen on a daily basis almost anywhere, starting from toys like the yo-yos and Powerballs all the way to the ...

If you want to view the distant Universe with the highest sensitivities and the smallest amounts of contamination possible, your best bet is to go to space. The Hubble Space Telescope, launched in ...

Traditionally, gyroscopes were mechanical devicesthat measured the angular rate of rotation. Onecommon use of gyroscopes has been in navigationsystems to provide heading estimation.Installing these ...

Researchers have built a prototype fiber optic gyroscope for high resolution, real-time monitoring of ground rotations caused by earthquakes in the active volcanic area of Campi Flegrei in Naples, ...

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 ...

A nodeless antiresonant fibre. (Courtesy: Gregory T Jasion, Optoelectronics Research Centre, University of Southampton) A new type of hollow-core optical fibre makes light-based gyroscopes up to 500 ...

A small device performs rotational measurements using nuclear spins in a diamond wafer, paving the way for microchip-size gyroscopes. Hold that tilt. Like a toy gyroscope, the nuclear spins inside a ...
