A surface acoustic wave (SAW) gyroscope measures the rate of rotational angular velocity by exploiting a phenomenon known as the SAW gyroscope effect. Such a gyroscope is a great candidate for ...

Researchers from Stanford University, working in tandem with a team from defense firm Rafael, have discovered a way to use the gyroscope found in most modern smartphones as a basic microphone, ...

When the iPhone 4 was announced, there was one feature many of us were skeptical about: the gyroscope. I think the problem was that many didn’t catch the differences between an accelerometer and a ...

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 ...
