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 ...

Forward-looking: Future electronics still have room to get a lot smaller. New techniques for creating optical gyroscopes may make motion and orientation detection significantly better all while chips ...

The device - which uses hollow optical fibres - achieved 'world record measurement accuracy', according to researchers that developed it Chinese researchers say they have developed a "groundbreaking" ...

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 ...
