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 ...

Genetic analysis of inner ear tissue revealed cells with highly sensitive electric sensors, the same ones used by sharks to detect their prey. "The cells we describe are ideally equipped to detect ...

A weak spot in the Earth's magnetic field is growing over the South Atlantic Ocean, according to more than a decade's worth of satellite data collected by scientists. The magnetic field surrounding ...

In the evolving landscape of precision sensing, contactless potentiometers are quietly redefining what reliability looks like. By replacing mechanical wear points with magnetic sensing, these devices ...

Two new omnipolar sensors employ tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) technology to offer an alternative to Hall-effect devices by providing superior thermal stability, wide supply voltage compatibility, ...

We’re probably all familiar with the Hall Effect, at least to the extent that it can be used to make solid-state sensors for magnetic fields. It’s a cool bit of applied physics, but there are other ...

Iridium-doped iron-cobalt (Fe-Co-Ir) alloys, previously identified through machine learning, have been shown to have enhanced magnetic properties, surpassing even the widely used pure Fe-Co alloy.

The dial control atop Alarmo uses a magnetic Hall effect sensor for improved accuracy and durability. The dial control atop Alarmo uses a magnetic Hall effect sensor for improved accuracy and ...
