The rotating-mass gyroscope, which lies at the heart of inertial measurement units (IMUs), has served very successfully from the 1930s to the 1970s, guiding astronauts, spacecraft, missiles, and more.

Those tiny gyroscopes—along with accelerometers, they’re the foundation of inertial guidance—keep getting better. The mechanical spinning-wheel and laser-based optical gyro have been supplanted in ...

A shotgun is obviously the more satisfying approach, but researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have found a simpler way to knock drones out of the sky—by targeting ...

The all-electric, gyroscope-enhanced C-1 from Lit Motors brings the familiar controls of the automobile to the mobility of a motorcycle, all with safety and efficiency in mind. The San Francisco-based ...
