Abstract—(MEMS) Microelectromechanical systemsin consumer electronics are growing faster each year, with increasing demands from the mobile market, which is dominating the growth for this emerging ...

The 'spooky action at a distance' that once unnerved Einstein may be on its way to being as pedestrian as the gyroscopes that currently measure acceleration in smartphones. The "spooky action at a ...

Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) accelerometers and vibration sensors represent a rapidly evolving field with significant implications for structural health monitoring, seismic detection, and industrial ...

From finding hidden metal to adjusting lighting, these hidden gems will change how you use your phone ...

On the smallest scales, our universe gets weird. Particles act like billiard balls or waves on water, depending how you probe them. Properties can't be measured simultaneously or tend to smear ...

Bosch has included ±28g accelerometers in its latest 3D inertial measurement unit, aimed at sports wearables. Called BHI385, it also includes a 32bit processor running embedded AI software “creating a ...
