Part of that skill may come from a sense we don’t have. Blackcaps, like many migratory birds, can detect Earth’s magnetic ...

Magnetic nanocatalysts offer efficient chemical reactions and simple catalyst recovery, addressing key challenges in green ...

An experiment with a carbon material in a magnetic field has revealed a novel way for electrons to move, which doesn't fully ...

The new Steam Controller is a terrific-feeling, feature-packed gamepad that leaps multiple generations beyond its predecessor ...

Excitons are being explored in materials science and information technology as a means of storing light. These luminous ...

Researchers grow magnetic materials on wafer-scale surfaces, moving beyond flakes & enabling use in spin-based devices, sensors & data storage ...

An accurate stud finder will allow you to confidently locate your home’s framing studs, and these two models outperformed the ...

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 ...

Abstract: Soft strain sensors are soft electronic devices capable of quantifying mechanical deformation, and they have been extensively explored in human health monitoring, and soft robotics. However, ...

Variable reluctance (VR) sensors transform mechanical motion into electrical signals by exploiting changes in magnetic flux. As a ferromagnetic target moves past the sensor’s pole piece, the ...

In experiments with 27 pigeons in Munich, Germany, researchers found that magnetic sensing originates in the inner ear, where movement generates minute electrical signals. Brain mapping revealed that ...
