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 ...

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.

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 has reported that one of the gyroscopes on the Hubble Space Telescope has become unusable, forcing it to temporarily suspend operations. As a result, the Hubble Space Telescope has only two ...

The venerable Hubble Space Telescope is running out of gyroscopes, and when none are left, the instrument will cease to conduct meaningful science. To preserve the telescope, which has been operating ...
