Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have upgraded their compact atomic gyroscope to enable multitasking measurement capabilities and measure its performance, ...

NIST's compact gyroscope measures rotation by analyzing patterns of interfering matter waves in an expanding cloud of atoms transitioning between two energy states. Each atom's speed determines both ...

An enhanced version of a magnetometer based on atomic spins could be used to search for theoretically predicted exotic fields with ultrahigh sensitivity. Figure 1: Romalis and colleagues [3] have ...

A small device performs rotational measurements using nuclear spins in a diamond wafer, paving the way for microchip-size gyroscopes. Hold that tilt. Like a toy gyroscope, the nuclear spins inside a ...
