WashU physicists build quantum sensors in boron nitride sheets to study magnetism and stress under extreme pressure.

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement. They have developed a new technique that uses atoms as highly precise ...

A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation ...

Scientists have discovered a method that paves the way for a new generation of magnetic sensors. Their procedure can be used to greatly extend the functionality of such sensors, which is limited when ...

Many creatures in nature, including butterflies, newts and mole rats, use Earth's inherent magnetic field lines and field intensity variations to determine their geographical position. The spatial ...

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 ...

The physiological levels of molecular biomarkers can be regarded as time-varying continuous signals. However, clinicians seldom take advantage of this temporal information in making diagnostic and ...

An atom-based magnetic sensor the size of a sugar cube has successfully measured human brain activity, a milestone that could ultimately lead to advancing our understanding of a wide range of ...

Empowered by MultiDimension's TMR technology (Tunneling Magnetoresistance), the new magnetic switch sensors are superior choices for high-performance industrial applications, including proximity ...

NIST sensor developed by German scientists measures the magnetic activity in human brain. NIST sensor measures alpha waves in the brain associated with a person opening and closing their eyes as well ...
