Research Spotlight: GPS so precise it can pinpoint locations as small as a grain of sugar
Misplacing a device is no big deal when you use apps like Find Hub and Find My to locate lost items. Typically, these systems locate a device within a meter by collecting data from at least four satellites. New technology developed at MSU can pinpoint locations even more precisely—down to 500 micrometers or less. That’s as small as a grain of sugar.
