A NIMS research team has developed a new experimental method capable of rapidly evaluating numerous material compositions by ...

In 1845, Michael Faraday discovered what’s known today as the Faraday Effect—which describes how light and electromagnetism ...

In labs around the world, scientists chase forces too faint to see and too small to touch. They hunt for tiny magnetic ...

Quantum sensors rely on the sensitivity of quantum energy levels to outside influences. Quantum sensors look for such ...

Princeton researchers have developed a diamond-based quantum sensor that can measure magnetic phenomena at the nanometre scale.

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 ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) A layer of ruthenium just a few atoms thick can be used to fine-tune the sensitivity and enhance the reliability of magnetic sensors, tests at the National Institute of Standards and ...

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 ...
