A guide for engineers balancing performance, reliability, and manufacturability across today’s smart systems By Barry Brents, ...

Figure 1a shows a slotted optical switch. An LED is mounted in a plastic housing, facing a phototransistor, but separated by a gap. If something moves into the gap, it blocks the light path between ...

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 ...

GLASGOW, Scotland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Neuranics, a global leader in magnetic sensing solutions, is proud to present its CES 2025 Innovation Awards Honoree, the groundbreaking Magnetomyography (MMG) ...

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 ...

A NIMS research team has developed a new experimental method capable of rapidly evaluating numerous material compositions by measuring anomalous Hall resistivity 30 times faster than conventional ...
