After successfully miniaturizing both clocks and magnetometers based on the properties of individual atoms, NIST physicists have now turned to precision gyroscopes, which measure rotation. NIST’s ...

Shrink rays may exist only in science fiction, but similar effects are at work in the real world at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). After successfully miniaturizing both ...

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 have demonstrated a compact atomic gyroscope design that could, with further development, be portable, low power, and accurate enough to be used for navigation. Shrink rays may exist only ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have upgraded their compact atomic gyroscope to enable multitasking measurement capabilities and measure its ...

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 ...

The rotating-mass gyroscope, which lies at the heart of inertial measurement units (IMUs), has served very successfully from the 1930s to the 1970s, guiding astronauts, spacecraft, missiles, and more.

“With tactical grade gyro performance available in ADI’s newest i Sensor motion sensor products, complex stabilization and GPS-aided dead-reckoning is more easily enabled,” said Bob Scannell, i Sensor ...

BUDD LAKE, NJ / ACCESS Newswire / October 7, 2025 / EMCORE LLC, a leading provider of advanced inertial sensors serving the aerospace and defense industries, today announced the launch of the ...
