Silicon Microgravity Limited (SMG) is a technology company focused on the inertial navigation and gravity markets.
Over 10 years of research and development, first at Cambridge University's Nanoscience Department and then carried on inside SMG, has gone in to our resonant MEMS technology. Today SMG's team of scientists and engineers are based in our Technology Centre in Waterbeach, just north of Cambridge, England.
SMG focuses on two markets. The inertial navigation market where our MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes presently under development will provide higher accuracy, smaller form factor and lower cost than existing sensors. Then the gravity sesning market where our MEMS gravity accelerometer sensor can detect changes down to 10 nanoG.
