This application note presents some of the fundamental information about Hall-Effect sensors. It also presents the basics of magnetics, and the added value of programmable sensors and sensor interface ...

Quantum sensors rely on the sensitivity of quantum energy levels to outside influences. Quantum sensors look for such disturbances to detect minuscule changes in, say, magnetic an ...

A team of researchers from Osaka University and Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research developed the world's thinnest and lightest magnetic sensor matrix sheet system that visualizes ...

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 ...

In 1882, the French Naturalist Camille Viguier was among the first to propose the existence of a magnetic sense. His ...

Pigeons may sense Earth's magnetic field using special cells in the inner ear. This discovery explains how they navigate long ...

Smart clothing might be huge, except for one problem: The printed "ink" electronics are delicate, so you can break them just by stretching the wrong way. However, researchers from the Jacobs School of ...
