The 3D sensors track movement in all directions, use less power, work in all conditions, and help make systems safe, small, ...

I need to install shelves in various rooms. I was given a stud finder to help determine the best places to hang the shelves. For the life of me, I can’t figure out how to use it! Any advice? A: ...

Today, magnets are being used in loads of innovative ways to make our tech more convenient, and you probably don't even notice the important part they play. These are just a few examples of how ...

The magnetoreceptor captures electrical resistance information across the entire measurement domain, offering continuous ...

Researchers have designed a self-powering, battery-free, energy-harvesting sensor. Using the framework they developed, they produced a temperature sensor that can harvest and store the energy from ...

We’re probably all familiar with the Hall Effect, at least to the extent that it can be used to make solid-state sensors for magnetic fields. It’s a cool bit of applied physics, but the… ...

In this video, WashU’s Kater Murch describes how his team leveraged “hindsight,” a property of entangled quantum sensors, to make time-traveling detectors.

Magnetic materials have become indispensable to various technologies that support our modern society, such as data storage devices, electric motors, and magnetic sensors.

The limitations of diamond-based sensors, though, is that they can only detect magnetic fields when aligned in the direction of the field. If unaligned, they have large blind spots.

Quantum sensors often rely on power-hungry lasers to make measurements. A new quantum magnetometer uses sunlight to measure magnetic fields instead.

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 ...
