Chinese semiconductor developer CT‑Unite has unveiled a gallium nitride (GaN) magnetic encoder chip designed for use in humanoid robot joints, marking what it describes as the country’s first ...

In automation, precision and reliability are no longer optional; they are requirements. For a wide variety of machine types and processes, linear guides provide that accuracy and high-capacity travel.

Posital’s new generation of IXARC magnetic absolute rotary encoders are now available with BiSS C communications interfaces. IXARC encoders with the BiSS C interface feature Posital’s latest TMR ...

New research shows that light’s magnetic field is far more influential than scientists once believed. The team found that this magnetic component significantly affects how light rotates as it passes ...

Saw the Youtube video and I had an idea about how I might improve upon or at least simplify this design. A while back I modified a microscope stage using AS5311 linear magnetic encoders so I could get ...

Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects of viscosity in their simulation, they revealed a self-sustaining dynamo ...

In physics, we have a bunch of constants that are used in models to explain how the world works. These are fixed numbers that we plug into equations along with our variables. For example, the ...

In 2008, Erez Ben-Yosef unearthed a piece of Iron Age "trash" and inadvertently revealed the strongest magnetic-field anomaly ever found. Ben-Yosef, an archaeologist at Tel Aviv University, had been ...
