The World’s Tiniest Optical Gyroscope is Now Smaller Than a Grain of Rice

A Caltech team has used reciprocal sensitivity enhancement to create an optical gyroscope 500 times smaller but 30 times more effective than the best devices currently out there.

So, what improvements are we likely to see coming from this?

The improvement is accuracy, reliability and in size

Gyroscopes are used in:

drones, planes, helicopters

space telescopes

smart phones

image stabilization for cameras

Agree. Absolutely brilliant. Every space telescope and mobile phone should have a set. An optical gyroscope is far more stable over long periods of time than a mechanical gyroscope. And shrinking it shortens the light path, which has positive influences.
