A guide for engineers balancing performance, reliability, and manufacturability across today’s smart systems By Barry Brents, ...

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 ...

A Hall-effect sensor is a transducer that converts a magnetic field directly into a usable electrical voltage. It enables engineers to perform non-contact measurement of shaft rotation, detect 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 ...

Asus is leveling up its keyboard game with the new ROG Azoth 96 HE — a magnetic, feature-packed upgrade designed to please both gamers and heavy typists. Building ...

Ethan Krieger (He/Him) is an editor at DualShockers that got started in the writing industry by covering professional basketball for a sports network. Despite being a diehard sports fan (mainly ...

An experimental flu test could detect the virus right on the tip of your tongue. Researchers in Germany have potentially discovered a new way to spot influenza through an edible test, potentially like ...

To enable more precise external temperature measurements in addition to junction readings, Melexis added an NTC resistor input capability to its MLX91230 (Hall-effect) and MLX91231 (shunt interface) ...

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 ...

Curious about how cadence sensors work and how to use them effectively? This hands-on guide breaks down the basics of cadence sensing—from the core principles behind pedal rotation tracking to ...
