This video explains the principles of physics behind how a gyroscope works and its applications in various technologies. Burning Man attendee faces $50K bill after being hit by Cybertruck driver ...

I am baffled by gyroscopes. I remember from physics in college they had the bike tire hung by its axle from a rope somehow. They would spin the tire and it would orbit the rope standing upright. If ...

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 ...

The gyroscopic system for gyro monorail trains that Brennan developed. (Credit: Primal Space) Everyone who has ever handled a spinning gyroscope found themselves likely mesmerized by the way it ...

Some days really are longer than others. And now scientists know by precisely how much. Using a laser gyroscope, scientists have measured variations in Earth’s rotation rate smaller than a millionth ...

Laser gyroscopes represent a pivotal technology in measuring Earth’s rotation with unmatched precision, utilising the Sagnac effect to detect minuscule angular variations. These instruments, often ...

The venerable Hubble Space Telescope is running out of gyroscopes, and when none are left, the instrument will cease to conduct meaningful science. To preserve the telescope, which has been operating ...
