University of Chicago scientists have discovered how to make magnetic sensors capable of operating at the high temperatures that ceramic engines in cars and aircraft of the future will require for ...

Because it requires no battery that must be recharged or replaced, and because it requires no special wiring, such a sensor could be embedded in a hard-to-reach place, like inside the inner workings ...

Littelfuse, Inc. a diversified, announced the launch of two next-generation Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) magnetic ...

Sensors for basic parameters such as temperature, pressure, voltage, and electrical or magnetic fields is straightforward in concept, the reality is that there are many challenges in their actual ...

Researchers have developed a light-based technique for measuring very weak magnetic fields, such as those produced when neurons fire in the brain. Researchers have developed a light-based technique ...

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 ...

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 ...

Most of the hacks we see around these parts have to do with taking existing components and cobbling them together in interesting new ways. It’s less often that we see existing components gutted and ...

Researchers demonstrated a magnet-based system that can track the location of muscles and could be used to help people control prosthetic limbs and other wearable robotic devices. Using a simple set ...
