Researchers at the University of Colorado have recently developed a new technique to measure mechanical motion using simultaneous electromechanical amplification and cooling processes. Their method, ...

Astronomers report that they have measured the slowest ever motion of a galaxy across the plane of the sky. This distant whirlpool of stars appears to creep along despite its actual speed through ...

Laser Doppler vibrometers (LDVs) measure vibrations in ways that other sensors can't. From large aircraft structures to microscopic MEMS sensors, and vacuum enclosures to red-hot mills, LDVs measure ...

Galaxy clusters are the largest objects in the Universe that are held together by their own gravity. They’re so big that the expansion rate and distribution of matter within the Universe affects their ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have harnessed the phenomenon of “quantum squeezing” to amplify and measure the motion of a magnesium ion as it travelled a few ...

In the March 4th issue of Science, astronomers report that they have measured the slowest ever motion of a galaxy across the plane of the sky. This distant whirlpool of stars appears to creep along ...

Accelerometers are essential sensors used in a wide range of applications including shock and vibration testing, car safety systems, and today's hand-held consumer devices. Generally, they sense the ...

the sky. This distant whirlpool of stars appears to creep along despite its actual speed through space because it is located so far from the Earth. M33’s movement in three dimensions for the first ...

KVH Industries TG-6000 inertial measurement unit employs a three-axis configuration of KVH digital signal processing FOGs integrated with three accelerometers. This provides outstanding performance, ...
