Magnetic sensors quietly underpin everything from smartphone compasses to the stability systems that keep electric vehicles on the road, and the race to make them smaller, faster and more sensitive is ...

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 ...

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 ...

As the EV market grows, so does demand for robust magnetic field sensors within these vehicles. Stray magnetic fields may diminish the accuracy of these sensors, though, which is where active ...

Migratory birds are able to navigate and orientate with astonishing accuracy using various mechanisms, including a magnetic compass. A team led by biologists Dr. Corinna Langebrake and Prof. Dr.

University of Leicester engineers have unveiled a concept for a device designed to magnetically "cloak" sensitive components, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers used an ultrathin graphene 'sandwich' to create a tiny magnetic field sensor that can operate over a greater temperature range than previous sensors, while also detecting miniscule changes ...

Pigeons may sense Earth’s magnetic field using their inner ear, sending signals to brain areas that help with navigation and ...
