The Qatar General Organisation for Standards and Metrology (QGOSM) announced the completion of the first measurement of absolute gravitational acceleration in Qatar. This measurement was taken as part ...

Imagine you want to study what happens when an object accelerates. Oh, this is way before any of that internet stuff—also, no computers or electronics. In fact, let's say it's the year 1780. What do ...

You're going at the speed limit down a two-lane road when a car barrels out of a driveway on your right. You slam on the brakes, and within a fraction of a second of the impact an airbag inflates, ...

Researchers from SANKEN (The Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research), at Osaka University find a simple and elegant way to measure pressure and acceleration using the same device Osaka, Japan ...

Dr. Sukanya Chakrabarti, the Pei-Ling Chan Endowed Chair in the College of Science at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), and her team have pioneered the use of gravitational acceleration ...

Based on a silicon MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) variable-capacitance sensing element, the Type 8315A high-sensitivity, low-noise, single-axis accelerometers from Kistler North America ...

Physicists have used a cloud of atoms chilled down to incredibly cold temperatures to simultaneously measure acceleration in three dimensions - a feat that many scientists didn't think was possible.

Addressing the increasing demand to accurately measure acceleration in smaller navigation systems and other devices, researchers have developed an accelerometer a mere millimeter thick that uses laser ...
