In special relativity a gyroscope that is suspended in a torque-free manner will precess as it is moved along a curved path relative to an inertial frame S. We explain this effect, which is known as ...

General relativistic spin-orbit interaction leads to the quasiresonant oscillation of the gyroscope mass center along the orbital normal. The beating amplitude does not include the speed of light and ...

Toy gyroscopes can do all kinds of interesting tricks. The most mysterious one, precession, seems to defy gravity. By definition, precession refers to a change in the orientation of the rotational ...

Virtual physical laboratory that simulates precession and nutation of a gyroscope in real-time. Laboratory was created and published on Go-Lab as a result of collaboration with a leading specialist in ...

Abstract: We report on free-induction decay measurements of nuclear spin precession of Xenon atoms confined in a small-sized vapour cell. The experiment is an important step towards the realization of ...

Scientists have found new ways to detect a bare or naked singularity, the most extreme object in the universe. This finding has possible astrophysical implications. A team of scientists at the Tata ...
