A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetism: the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a given location.

If you read about Hall effect sensors — the usual way to detect and measure magnetic fields these days — it sounds deceptively simple. There’s a metal plate with current flowing across it in one ...

Scientists at Ames National Laboratory, in collaboration with Indranil Das's group at the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (India), have found a surprising electronic feature in transitional ...

Wooting is the brand most often credited with bringing magnetic Hall effect keyboards to the market for the first time, but it took until 2025 for mainstream gaming brands to finally get a foot on the ...

Topological insulators could form the basis for revolutionary electronic components. However, as they generally only function at very low temperatures, their practical application has been severely ...

Think of a keyboard switch like light switches. They have a fixed point where they activate, and all they can report is whether they're in one of two states. Hall effect switches are more like light ...

SALT LAKE CITY — French propulsion startup ThrustMe has high expectations for an iodine-fueled Hall-effect thruster set to launch in 2026 on a Marble Imaging satellite built by Reflex Aerospace. “We ...

Elvis Shida is a Tech/Hardware Writer from Kenya. He has been building PCs for a decade and is keenly interested in motherboards, monitors, and gaming TVs. When not building PCs or writing about ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Mechanical keyboards have swept the mainstream in recent years, saving typists and gamers alike from the scourge of cheap, mushy typing.

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

It was a very odd move when we found out that the Nintendo Switch 2 won’t feature Hall Effect sticks. That’s a big disappointment for fans and, again, very odd because of the issues that plagued so ...

Insight on Diodes Inc.’s first automotive-compliant 3D linear Hall-effect sensor. How it allows for reliable and high-precision contactless rotary motion and proximity detection. Application targets ...
