Some days really are longer than others. And now scientists know by precisely how much. Using a laser gyroscope, scientists have measured variations in Earth’s rotation rate smaller than a millionth ...

High-precision space-based gyroscopes are important in space science research and space engineering applications. In fundamental physics research, they can be used to test the general relativity ...

The venerable Hubble Space Telescope is running out of gyroscopes, and when none are left, the instrument will cease to conduct meaningful science. To preserve the telescope, which has been operating ...

The gyroscopic system for gyro monorail trains that Brennan developed. (Credit: Primal Space) Everyone who has ever handled a spinning gyroscope found themselves likely mesmerized by the way it ...
