Example of a localized Wannier function of titanium in barium titanate (BaTiO3) Although, like localized molecular orbitals, Wannier functions can be chosen in many different ways, [3] the original, [1] simplest, and most common definition in solid-state physics is as follows.
An accelerometer was announced that used infrared light to measure the change in distance between two micromirrors in a Fabry–Perot cavity. The proof mass is a single silicon crystal with a mass of 10–20 mg, suspended from the first mirror using flexible 1.5 μm-thick silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4) beams. The suspension allows the proof mass to ...
A description of how a piezoelectric accelerometer works in theory. A piezoelectric accelerometer is an accelerometer that employs the piezoelectric effect of certain materials to measure dynamic changes in mechanical variables (e.g., acceleration, vibration, and mechanical shock).

The spring mass provides greater accuracy, and the piezoresistive properties of graphene converts the strain from acceleration to electrical signals for the accelerometer. The suspended graphene ribbon simultaneously forms the spring and piezoresistive transducer, making efficient use of space in while improving performance of NEMS accelerometers.
Work on quantum technology based inertial measurement units , the instruments containing the gyroscopes and accelerometers, follows from early demonstrations of matter-wave based accelerometers and gyrometers. [2] The first demonstration of onboard acceleration measurement was made on an Airbus A300 in 2011. [3]
These combinations are chosen to satisfy two conditions. First, the total amount of s and p orbital contributions must be equivalent before and after hybridisation. Second, the hybrid orbitals must be orthogonal to each other. [27] [28] If two hybrid orbitals were not orthogonal, by definition they would have nonzero orbital overlap. Electrons ...
An accelerometer measures proper acceleration, which is the acceleration it experiences relative to freefall and is the acceleration felt by people and objects. [2] Put another way, at any point in spacetime the equivalence principle guarantees the existence of a local inertial frame, and an accelerometer measures the acceleration relative to that frame. [4]
