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 ...

This article provides an in-depth overview of the significance and recent advancements of graphene in Hall effect sensor application. How Do Hall Effect Sensors Work? Hall effect sensors are ...

Measuring a magnetic field can be very easy with some pretty low tech, or it can be very high tech. It just depends on what kind of measurement you need and how much effort you want to expend. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

There are myriad visions for a future filled with self-driving cars. For example, there's Google's experimental driverless car bristling with sensors, as well as more modest systems that would only ...
