Tracking device fits on the head of a pin: Mini-gyroscopes to guide smartphones and medical equipment

Friday, October 8, 2010 - 08:30 in Physics & Chemistry

A researcher in Israel has developed nano-sized optical gyroscopes that can fit on the head of a pin -- and, more usefully, on an average-sized computer chip -- without compromising the device's sensitivity. These gyroscopes will have the ability to pick up smaller rotation rates, delivering higher accuracy while maintaining smaller dimensions.
