MEMS gyroscopes are self-contained rotation sensors that can be integrated with linear accelerometers to make single-chip inertial measurement units (IMUs) 1–3. Their small size and low cost have made ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

There are two kinds of gyroscopes in widespread use for navigation and control: optical ones, which are extremely sensitive but also expensive, and microelectromechanical (MEMS) ones, which are ...

With its compact, lightweight housing and lower power electronics, the new design enhances performance while expanding deployment possibilities across autonomous and stabilized systems. Featuring ...

In MEMS technology development, it is always exciting to see the next technology frontier, the border of the known and the unknown. Talent and hard work (along with ingenuity) can move this frontier ...

CEA-Leti scientists, in collaboration with researchers at Politecnico di Milano, have developed the world’s smallest-footprint MEMS gyroscope that is capable of providing navigation-grade performance.

A team of Chinese scientists has reportedly developed a new fibre-optic gyroscope that is stable across a wide range of temperatures. The development could prove crucial for military, deep-sea, or ...
