A five-year NSF-funded project aims to uncover hidden magnetic activity that could lead to advances in wearable devices, ...

Magnetic pressure sensors that employ magneto-elastomers to convert pressure stimuli into detectable magnetic signals are widely regarded as promising components for smart wearables. However, ...

Littelfuse has unveiled an omnipolar TMR switch sensor with ultra-low power consumption, enabling efficient magnetic sensing ...

Magnetic fields are everywhere in our solar system. They originate from the sun, planets, and moons, and are carried throughout interplanetary space by solar wind. This is precisely why ...

The advancements in tactile sensor technology have found wide-ranging applications in robotic fields, resulting in remarkable achievements in object manipulation and overall human-machine interactions ...

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 ...

Impact of stray magnetic fields on the electrification of motor vehicles. The role of inductive sensors to reduce risk, cost, and size in EMI-laden applications. The clean and efficient design of ...

Quantum devices that measure Earth's magnetic fields could help replace GPS—if researchers can figure out how to tell when such devices are working well, or even at all. A Pentagon contract suggests ...

Door sensors detect door position (i.e., open or closed) based on the precise gap between the magnet and the reed switch.
