Imagine you want to study what happens when an object accelerates. Oh, this is way before any of that internet stuff—also, no computers or electronics. In fact, let's say it's the year 1780. What do ...

According to Theodor Hänsch, director at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics (MPQ) in Germany and one of the winners of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics, a laser frequency comb can now be used ...

Automotive acceleration testing started out with two people and a stopwatch, but it evolved to include exterior attachments ...

A new sound-based laser could measure gravity with unprecedented precision and reshape navigation technology. Since their ...

Addressing the increasing demand to accurately measure acceleration in smaller navigation systems and other devices, researchers have developed an accelerometer a mere millimeter thick that uses laser ...

Physicists have used a cloud of atoms chilled down to incredibly cold temperatures to simultaneously measure acceleration in three dimensions - a feat that many scientists didn't think was possible.

Researchers from SANKEN (The Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research), at Osaka University find a simple and elegant way to measure pressure and acceleration using the same device Osaka, Japan ...

This force will cause the cart to accelerate—in this case, to the left, or the opposite way it was heading, which is why it slows down during impact and even reverses direction. But what is the ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover has provided scientists with unexpected insight into the gravity on Mars by using the rover’s sensors as a makeshift gravimeter. The Curiosity rover has accelerometers for ...

Researchers have developed new sensors for measuring acceleration and vibration on trains. The technology could be integrated with artificial intelligence to prevent railway accidents and catastrophic ...

In a new study, physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have used a cloud of atoms chilled down to incredibly cold temperatures to simultaneously measure acceleration in three dimensions—a ...
