This project illustrates an acceleration sensor being placed on a shoe to measure the acceleration of the foot during running, walking, and sport activities. This project illustrates an acceleration ...

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.

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, ...

A new type of atom interferometer built by researchers at the University of Colorado (UC) Boulder measures acceleration in three dimensions (3D). Prior to this, acceleration was always measured in one ...

This force will cause the cart to accelerate—in this case, to the left, or the opposite way it was heading, which is why it slows down during impact and even reverses direction. But what is the ...

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 ...
