In a groundbreaking development, researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have achieved the most accurate measurement of Earth’s rotation to date. Utilizing the advanced ring laser ...

Scientists have just plotted changes in Earth's axis through laboratory measurements. To do this, they constructed the world's most stable ring laser. Previously, scientists were only able to track ...

A new type of gyroscope based on interfering atoms has been developed that can determine the latitude where the instrument is located – and also measure true north and the Earth’s rate of rotation.

Spinning around: physicists have measured the effect of rotation on a quantum spin embedded in a diamond. (Courtesy: iStock/Gizmo) The effect of rapid rotation on a single quantum spin in a piece of ...

Astronomers have captured the first-ever spin measurements of HR 8799, the famed system that made history as the very first exoplanetary system to have its image taken. Discovered in 2008 by two ...

The Earth spins around once every 24 hours on its axis, creating the continuous cycle of day and night. But this rotation isn't as straightforward as it sounds: Forces large and small cause the Earth ...

Gyroscope designs used in inertial navigation systems (INS) fall into three basic groups: the classic spinning-rotor mechanical gyro (still in use in specialized situations due to its superior ...
