Accurately sensing rotation is important to a variety of technologies, from today's smartphones to navigational instruments that help keep submarines, planes, and satellites on course. In a paper ...

Chinese researchers say they have developed a “groundbreaking” fibre-optic gyroscope that is stable across a large temperature range and can be used for navigation. According to the team from the ...

Many critical gyroscopic flight instruments, particularly air- or vacuum-driven ones, are prone to mechanical failure (e.g., vacuum pump), which can lead to instrument disagreement. Such failures ...
