Even at sea, GPS signals are increasingly at risk of being disrupted by electronic warfare measures. To combat the problem, the Navy is upgrading its inertial gyrocompass navigation system for surface ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

It’s no secret that the components used in our everyday technology keep getting smaller. But just how much tinier they’re getting might surprise you. At the California Institute of Technology (Caltech ...

Researchers from Caltech have developed the world’s tiniest optical gyroscope – a component used in flying vehicles for directional stability. The new gyroscope is 500 times smaller than the best ones ...

Researchers built a prototype fiber optic gyroscope (pictured) for high resolution, real-time monitoring of ground rotations caused by earthquakes in an active volcanic area. The fibers are precisely ...

The global quantum compass navigation is expected to experience robust growth in the upcoming yearsTel Aviv, Israel, Jan. 06, 2026 (GLOBE ...

A new toy has been added to the multitude of molecular mechanical components made through chemistry: a gyroscope. But what J. A. Gladysz and colleagues report (Angew ...

The persistent narrative of cars that drive or planes that fly themselves will only come true if the on board systems can precisely determine where the vehicle is located at any time. In the aerospace ...
