PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Sometimes seemingly simple toys have some pretty cool science packed into them. You may remember when we showed you all the scientific processes that made the thirsty bird toy ...

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 ...

Researchers have taken an important new step in advancing the performance of resonator fiber optic gyroscopes, a type of fiber optic sensor that senses rotation using only light. Because gyroscopes ...

There are two kinds of gyroscopes in widespread use for navigation and control: optical ones, which are extremely sensitive but also expensive, and microelectromechanical (MEMS) ones, which are ...
