The mechanical keyboard isn’t always so mechanical anymore. Over the past six years, keyboards with optical, Hall-effect, and other “contactless” switches have become increasingly common, often going ...

The discovery of a thermal version of the Hall effect in common semiconductors challenges our understanding of how magnetic fields and heat fluxes interact within solids. Figure 1: Transport ...

When mounted inside the traction inverter, TI’s TMCS2100-Q1 multi-axial coreless Hall-effect current sensor enables more efficient, longer-range, and more enjoyable driving experiences for HEVs and ...

Carnegie Mellon University scientists have uncovered a new phenomenon that challenges a longstanding assumption about how electronic materials respond to magnetic fields. The discovery broadens the ...

The Vishay 34 PHE absolute position sensor provides 10-turn linear or rotary displacement sensing with a 3600° range. Using non-contact Hall-effect technology, it delivers up to ±1% linearity (full ...

Physicists have long been drawn to the nonlinear Hall effect: a subtle variant of the classical Hall effect, in which an electric voltage appears perpendicular to a current flowing through a material.

Magnetic sensing is becoming increasingly important in modern electronic systems, particularly in motion control, power conversion, and protection applications, where contactless measurement of ...

Technologies like Hall effect and TMR are terms you may have heard when looking for new controllers for your video game console. Both methods can be employed by manufacturers to reduce stick drift, an ...
