Scientific discovery is often ferried along by passionate people working tirelessly to prove something out. It happens in corporate research and development, on university lab benches and, sometimes, ...

European Space Agency astronaut Tim Peake has demonstrated the microgravitational effect on a toy gyroscope in space. While under the influence of microgravity, a gyroscope will tumble and roll when ...

You don’t have to be perfectly organized to pull off a wave, according to University of Chicago scientists. Using a set of gyroscopes linked together, physicists explored the behavior of a material ...

A nodeless antiresonant fibre. (Courtesy: Gregory T Jasion, Optoelectronics Research Centre, University of Southampton) A new type of hollow-core optical fibre makes light-based gyroscopes up to 500 ...

A magnetic compass gets thrown off by a steel hull, shifting cargo, and a wandering magnetic pole, so ships use gyroscopes instead. Here's how a spinning disc, or even a loop of fiber optic cable, ...

I test to see if gyroscopes can provide free energy by extracting energy from the rotation of the earth.

An international team of researchers have developed a new type of gyroscope that is the first to measure the “wobble” in the rotational axis of the Earth from a ground-based laboratory. Astronomers ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Sometimes seemingly simple toys have some pretty cool science packed into them. You may remember when we showed you all the scientific processes that made the thirsty bird toy ...
