Laser gyroscopes represent a pivotal technology in measuring Earth’s rotation with unmatched precision, utilising the Sagnac effect to detect minuscule angular variations. These instruments, often ...

A revolutionary new study led by Technical University of Munich and University of Bonn scientists has succeeded in measuring the subtle wobble of the Earth’s axis without using complex radio astronomy ...

Back in the old days, finding out your location on Earth was a pretty involved endeavor. You had to look at stars, use fancy gimballed equipment to track your motion, or simply be able to track your ...

SpaceWERX, the innovation arm of the U.S. Space Force, has awarded ANELLO Photonics a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to develop a resonator laser gyroscope. The new ...

Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) has won a contract to upgrade the inertial navigation systems (INS) for the Swedish navy’s submarines. Under the contract, awarded by Kockums AB, Northrop ...

Scientists have figured out a way to measure the slow and tiny wobble of the Earth's axis of rotation. Their method should keep GPS systems from requiring an entire series of radio telescopes pointed ...

Renowned physicist Frederick Aronowitz, world expert on laser gyro technology, died on December 17, 2022, in Belmont, MA. He was 87 years old. Anyone who has flown in a commercial jetliner, starting ...

Silicon Valley startup Anello Photonics says that it is showcasing the world’s first silicon photonics optical gyroscope, under the name “SIPHOG”. Also said to be the “world's smallest optical ...
