The first gyroscope was invented in 1852 by Leon Foucault (a traditional mechanical gyroscope of this general type is shown in Fig 1). Foucault thought that he could measure the rotation of the earth ...

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 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" ...
