The magnetically suspended control and sense gyroscope (MSCSG) integrates spacecraft attitude measurement and control function; this paper proposes a double spherical rotor (DSR) for MSCSG. The DSR ...

Helicopters have won high marks in Viet Nam doing the chores they were designed for: carting supplies, ferrying troops, evacuating wounded. But, decked out with bolt-on guns and rocket launchers, the ...

Theoretical chemists have constructed a molecular gyroscope that can be controlled remotely by light. They also succeeded in characterizing the rotational movements of this synthetic nanomachine with ...
