Readers with long memories will remember the days when mice and other similar pointing devices relied upon a hard rubber ball in contact with your desk or other surface, that transmitted any motion to ...

Einstein's theory of gravity predicts that a rotating body, such as Earth, partially drags inertial frames along with its rotation. Scientists suggest a novel approach to measuring what is referred to ...

We’ve probably all had a few conversations with people who hold eccentric scientific ideas, and most of the time they yield nothing more than frustration and perhaps a headache. In [Bertrand Selva]’s ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Engineers who want to measure and control rotating antennas, fluid flow direction, or a robotic arm joint can now use a ...

(Nanowerk News) Atom interferometers are quantum sensors that use the wave-like nature of atoms to measure gravity, acceleration and rotation with exceptional precision. Most of the current atom ...

A research team led by Prof. GAO Xiaoming at the Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (AIOFM), Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) recently ...

Curious about how cadence sensors work and how to use them effectively? This hands-on guide breaks down the basics of cadence sensing—from the core principles behind pedal rotation tracking to ...
