A novel magnetic sensor for the first time detects tiny fluctuations in a small magnetic field -- even when there is a strong magnet right beside it. The sensor can thus be utilized even in places ...

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 ...

It hasbeen a long-held belief in scientific circles that many creatures navigateacross land, through water, and through the skies using the Earth’s magnetic field forguidance. Now scientists and ...

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 ...

Magneto-resistive to exhibit highest growth rate in magnetic current sensor market. Magneto-resistive technology-based current sensors are expected to exhibit the highest CAGR in the current magnetic ...

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 ...

Quantum tech is going green. A new take on highly sensitive magnetic field sensors ditches the power-hungry lasers that previous devices have relied on to make their measurements and replaces them ...

A research group from the Graduate School of Engineering at Tohoku University has developed a noninvasive means of detecting ...

This white paper is a discussion of Coto Technology on emerging reed sensing technologies. The sensor incorporates the best features of conventional reed switches combined with the inherent benefits ...
