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 ...

This article is a technical document of Allegro’s Hall effect sensor integrated circuits, how these devices were built, and how Allegro use the Hall effect principle to develop these devices. It ...

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 ...

Need a Hall sensor? A strip of copper, a strong magnet, and an LM358 are all you need to explore the Hall effect hands-on.

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

While most sensors that surround us and make modern technology possible are well-known and understood, magnetic sensors used in magnetometers are often overlooked or misunderstood, even though they’re ...

A magnetic sensor turned out to be a useful replacement for a simple limit switch that prevented overtravel in screw jacks. ActionJacs made by Nook Industries in Cleveland, Ohio, once incorporated ...

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 ...

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