A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation of magnetic fields using what may be the tiniest compasses around—atoms.
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 ...
Recently the MagQuest competition on improving the measuring of the Earth’s magnetic field announced that the contestants in the final phase have now moved on to launching their satellites within the ...
A five-year NSF-funded project aims to uncover hidden magnetic activity that could lead to advances in wearable devices, ...
ERLANGEN, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The mission of LZE GmbH is to translate technologies from research into products and, as a fabless semiconductor company, to bring high‑performance integrated ...
Self-powered sensor Using this design framework, they built an energy management circuit for an off-the-shelf temperature sensor. The device harvests magnetic field energy and uses it to continually ...
A special class of sensors leverages quantum properties to measure tiny signals at levels that would be impossible using classical sensors alone. Such quantum sensors are currently being used to study ...
Advanced sensor technology provides accurate information for the monitoring and controls of the power system. In recent years, with the development of power electronics devices, the distributed power ...
Quantum computers get a lot of attention, even though they are not ready for prime time, but quantum sensors are already doing useful work. These sensors measure fields, forces and motion so small ...
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 ...
Using atoms only a few billionths of a degree above absolute zero, a team of researchers has detected magnetic signals undetectable by any other existing sensor technology. Using atoms only a few ...
Two new omnipolar sensors employ tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) technology to offer an alternative to Hall-effect devices by providing superior thermal stability, wide supply voltage compatibility, ...
