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

We’ve even seen the sensors built into a voltmeter ... A contactless probe picks up the changing magnetic field around an unshielded wire with an AC voltage on it. Current doesn’t have ...

The team employed nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centres in nanodiamonds to investigate the magnetic fields around grapes. NV centres are atomic-scale defects within diamonds that act as quantum sensors.

The probe tip is typically coated with a thin magnetic layer ... such as magnetic random access memories (MRAM) and magnetic field sensors. MFM imaging provides insights into the magnetic switching ...

It has the potential to revolutionize quantum sensor technology. The research demonstrates the capabilities of trapped vapor atoms. These atoms can simultaneously measure minute variations in magnetic ...

A pair of physicists at the University of Crete has found that some types of biological magnetoreceptors used by various ...

Graphene also enables magnetic sensing across a wide range of field strengths ... include a test probe which also serves as a reference design for connecting the cryogenic sensors to the unit.

The average Hackaday reader likely knows, at least in the academic sense, what a magnetic field looks like. But as the gelatinous orbs in our skull can perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM ...

But electrical currents also produce magnetic fields, and detecting these fields can offer several advantages over voltage measurements, says Myriam Pannetier-Lecoeur of the French Alternative ...
