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 ...

Quantum tech is going green. A new take on highly sensitive magnetic field sensors ditches the power-hungry lasers that previous devices have relied on to make their measurements and replaces them ...

US firm Roboteq has introduced a new magnetic guide sensor for robotic vehicles that is capable of detecting and reporting the position of a magnetic field along its horizontal axis. The 160mm wide ...

A magnetic sensor smaller than a grain of rice and sensitive enough to detect the brainwave of someone daydreaming has been developed by US scientists who say their research offers the potential for a ...

Researchers have developed a light-based technique for measuring very weak magnetic fields, such as those produced when neurons fire in the brain. Researchers have developed a light-based technique ...
