New work on quantum entanglement could "improve the performance of any application that requires a network of sensors," researchers report.

A new gyroscope, so small it can fit on the tip of your finger, could help drones and driverless cars stay on track without a GPS signal.

Rheobase neurons focus on keeping you headed in the right direction over long periods of time, new research in mice shows.

By having people navigate a virtual town, researchers gained new insight into how our brains perceive places and help us navigate our environment.

For learning about digital spaces in virtual reality, it may not matter whether we control our movement with a joystick or our bodies.

A new technique can boost tracking for devices while they're indoors where GPS doesn't work. It could help us get around places like airports.

The way a barn owl can use sound to home in on its prey could pave way for electronic navigation devices that mimic an owl's brain.

A part of the brain called the striatum helps rats make a mental map of their surroundings, research finds. The findings could improve autonomous robots.

The way fruit flies navigate the world isn't as simple as you might think. Now, researchers understand more about their surprisingly complex calculations.

A smart suitcase called BBeep and a wayfinding app can help visually impaired people get around the airport quickly.
