Laser Doppler vibrometers (LDVs) measure vibrations in ways that other sensors can't. From large aircraft structures to microscopic MEMS sensors, and vacuum enclosures to red-hot mills, LDVs measure ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have harnessed the phenomenon of “quantum squeezing” to amplify and measure the motion of a magnesium ion as it travelled a few ...

the sky. This distant whirlpool of stars appears to creep along despite its actual speed through space because it is located so far from the Earth. M33’s movement in three dimensions for the first ...

Accelerometers are essential sensors used in a wide range of applications including shock and vibration testing, car safety systems, and today's hand-held consumer devices. Generally, they sense the ...

Astronomers report that they have measured the slowest ever motion of a galaxy across the plane of the sky. This distant whirlpool of stars appears to creep along despite its actual speed through ...

KVH Industries TG-6000 inertial measurement unit employs a three-axis configuration of KVH digital signal processing FOGs integrated with three accelerometers. This provides outstanding performance, ...

In this project we use the forward facing cameras onboard trains to measure how the train moves relative to the tracks, creating a 3D map of the tracks ahead. By measuring how the train moves we can ...
