In a worst-case scenario, gyroscope failure could render the Landsat 7 Earth observation spacecraft useless by the end of 2007. While maintaining that the probability of such a catastrophe is unlikely ...

Micromachined gyroscopes have enabled a myriad of applications that range from basic motion detection for gaming to safety control systems in automobiles 1. More recently, an increased interest in the ...

Fiber optic gyroscopes (FOGs) utilise the Sagnac effect to measure rotation, forming the core technology behind many modern inertial navigation and rotation-sensing applications. These sensors offer a ...

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 ...
