The science behind gyrocompasses, how Earth’s rotation guides ships, aircraft, and spacecraft
Magnetic compasses struggle aboard steel ships, but gyrocompasses solve the problem by exploiting Earth’s rotation itself. This video explains the physics of gyroscopes, precession, and modern fiber ...
March 14 (UPI) --Scientists are preparing to measure the inertial rotation of Earth using an underground laser-based gyroscope. The goal is to reveal fluctuations in Earth's rate of rotation and ...
High-precision space-based gyroscopes are important in space science research and space engineering applications. In fundamental physics research, they can be used to test the general relativity ...
A new detection scheme that may lead to the world's smallest gyroscope has been uncovered by scientists. More than creative learning toys, gyroscopes are indispensable components in a number of ...
