Magnetic sensors quietly underpin everything from smartphone compasses to the stability systems that keep electric vehicles ...

A NIMS research team has developed a new experimental method capable of rapidly evaluating numerous material compositions by measuring anomalous Hall resistivity 30 times faster than conventional ...

In labs around the world, scientists chase forces too faint to see and too small to touch. They hunt for tiny magnetic signals that ripple across materials atom by atom. Those signals hold clues to ...

Sensors help microprocessor-based systems find their bearings. Where would embedded systems be without them? Sensors provide the windows through which microprocessor-based systems can observe their ...

Because optical encoders are functionally similar, “resolution” is often used as a main characteristic for magnetic encoders, a device providing the angle of a magnet attached to a mechanical shaft ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The latest generation of 3D magnetic position sensors from ams AG uses a pair of sensor elements (pixels) that make it ...

Magnetic sensors detect moving ferrous metal. The simplest magnetic sensor consists of a wire coiled around a permanent magnet. A ferrous object approaching the sensor changes magnetic flux through ...

Aircraft equipped with anti-submarine tech like magnetometers and passive sensors are the key to searching for stealth ...

While most sensors that surround us and make modern technology possible are well-known and understood, magnetic sensors used in magnetometers are often overlooked or misunderstood, even though they’re ...

Researchers used an ultrathin graphene 'sandwich' to create a tiny magnetic field sensor that can operate over a greater temperature range than previous sensors, while also detecting miniscule changes ...

The magnetic sense of migratory birds such as European robins is thought to be based on a specific light-sensitive protein in the eye. Researchers demonstrate that the protein cryptochrome 4, found in ...
