in protein crystallization processes and cell fusion procedures). Gyroscopes can be used to monitor earthquakes, precision engineering processes, neurological tremors such as Parkinson’s disease, or the stability of a process and ride (e.g. Although a wide range of science-related apps have been created for aiding research, more remains to be done.īoth the gyroscope and accelerometer are widely used in scientific disciplines and daily life e.g. Mobile apps are now beginning to make an impact on research processes ranging from displacing equipment e.g.GelApp (Sim et al. They can function as the desired “second opinion” devices, and all that is required to unlock these potential are mobile apps ( ). With the widespread use of smartphones and mobile devices with multiple sensors, there is great potential for phones to be leveraged as research equipment themselves. To ensure optimal conditions, additional devices for calibration or comparisons are extremely welcomed. As such, calibrated equipment and standardised measures are reported in experimental research articles. Reproducibility is an important criteria of experimental research.
