iC-Haus iC-MU Magnetic Off-Axis Position Encoders are integrated with Hall sensors for two-track scanning and can log an absolute position within one mechanical revolution. These encoders feature ...

A five-year NSF-funded project aims to uncover hidden magnetic activity that could lead to advances in wearable devices, brain imaging and other technologies Magnets are used in everything from cars ...

How pigeons fly hundreds of kilometers and still find their way home has long fascinated people. Now, researchers say a surprising answer may be hidden, not in the brain or eyes of birds, but in the ...

Quantum computers get a lot of attention, even though they are not ready for prime time, but quantum sensors are already doing useful work. These sensors measure fields, forces and motion so small ...

ERLANGEN, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The mission of LZE GmbH is to translate technologies from research into products and, as a fabless semiconductor company, to bring high‑performance integrated ...

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.

Cells are squishy and soft. Tiny nanometer-sized particles such as quantum sensors cannot move freely inside them due to viscous drag, which makes sensing challenging. Researchers at the Indian ...

Nanodiamond quantum sensors mounted on magnetic microbots achieve coherent spin control while moving freely through fluid, a first for untethered quantum sensing. But exploiting that sensitivity in ...

First published in 2007, the World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map is an example of publicly available magnetic field maps that can be used for navigation. Credit: International Association of ...

Our planet’s magnetosphere has seen dramatic shifts across its history—even total reversals—but this recent wrinkle doesn’t pose a threat to life Earth’s magnetic field surrounds the planet, with ...

In the late 1800s, the French naturalist Camille Viguier proposed an idea that would be dismissed and forgotten for more than a century. He speculated that birds and other animals could navigate with ...

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 ...
