Quantum devices that measure Earth's magnetic fields could help replace GPS—if researchers can figure out how to tell when ...

In 1882, the French Naturalist Camille Viguier was among the first to propose the existence of a magnetic sense. His ...

Scientists find baby loggerheads feel Earth’s magnetic field to know where they are, reshaping our understanding of sea ...

A Hebrew University study finds light’s magnetic field plays a larger role in material behavior than believed, with implications for optical and quantum technologies.

Scientists have discovered a method that paves the way for a new generation of magnetic sensors. Their procedure can be used to greatly extend the functionality of such sensors, which is limited when ...

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 ...

This article appeared in Electronic Design and has been published here with permission. While most sensors that surround us and make modern technology possible are well-known and understood, magnetic ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the seemingly endless quest for higher motor performance and improved system cost efficiencies, motor manufacturers ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
