Two researchers from UC Davis have successfully created a proof-of-concept keylogger using a smartphone’s built-in gyroscope. TouchLogger was written for Android, but there is no reason the same ...

A security researcher known for devising inventive ways to siphon data from computers that are disconnected from the internet has found a new exploit able to exfiltrate data to a nearby smartphone.

Gyroscope designs used in inertial navigation systems (INS) fall into three basic groups: the classic spinning-rotor mechanical gyro (still in use in specialized situations due to its superior ...

This article illustrates our group's most recent progress in developing an optimal path planner for rigid-body spacecraft rotations using Control Moment Gyroscopes (CMG's). This work improves upon our ...

X, a unique two-wheeled car prototype designed in 1967 by Alex Tremulis. Powered by a 1.3L engine and balanced using a 56 cm ...

Researchers have taken an important new step in advancing the performance of resonator fiber optic gyroscopes, a type of fiber optic sensor that senses rotation using only light. Because gyroscopes ...

Remember February 1st of 1994? That’s when Harley-Davidson tried to trademark “the exhaust sound of applicants motorcycles, produced by V-twin, common crankpin motorcycle engines when the goods are in ...

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 ...

[Curious Marc] has an Apollo-era gyroscope but isn’t quite ready to put it through this paces without some practice. So he borrowed a 1949 vintage Sperry C5 gyro and did some experiments with it using ...
