Silicon Microgravity is a ground breaking, platform technology company based on our proprietary resonant MEMS technology with a focus on the global motion and gravity markets. We are developing high performance accelerometers and gyroscopes with a small form factor and the ability to be volume manufactured that will disrupt the motion sensing markets.
Our MEMS accelerometer and gyroscope technology will be integrated into a wide range of inertial navigation systems delivering MEMS based tactical and navigation grade sensing. Applications are wide ranging in markets such as defence, aerospace, autonomous vehicles and robotics.
Our MEMS gravimeters will open up new markets for gravity sensing on earth and in space. Detecting subsurface tunnels and voids, monitoring changes in the earths gravity field and civil engineering are just some of the potential applications
Founded in 2015 as spin-out of Cambridge University, SMG’s technology is based on over 10 years of research and development and is now taking MEMS technology to new levels of performance and accessing new markets.
Silicon Microgravity (SMG), the disruptive technology company developing innovative Inertial and Gravity sensors, closes the first stage of its £2.8 million funding round with £1.8 million new funding from the UK Innovation & Science Seed Fund (UKI2S), the Oxford Innovation EIS Growth Fund, Oxford Innovation Finance’s Angel Network (OION) and the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA).

SMG is delighted to have been successful in the first phase of the £7.4m Department for Business and Trade competition ‘railway construction innovation’. This will support teams in developing innovations for later demonstration at the Global Centre of Rail Excellence in South Wales, and will be delivered in partnership with Innovate UK. More...
SMG are presenting and exhibiting at IEEE Inertial 2023. Lokesh Gurung will be presenting "A High-Performance Resonant MEMS Accelerometer with a Residual Bias Error of 30 µg and Scale Factor Repeatability of 2 ppm". If you are attending come along and meet Colin Baker, Lokesh Gurung and Theo Miani at our stand.
Europe's largest ever infrastructure project, High Speed 2, has selected Silicon Microgravity to be one of five companies for its Cohort 5, demonstrating the potential of microgravity surveying for ground investigation and site surveying in the construction and infrastructure markets. The Accelerator provides SMG with key support and facilitates our entry into the rail industry while potentially providing HS2 with construction cost savings. Please read more here...
