By removing rare earths from the equation, these designs promise cleaner supply chains and more sustainable production.

SMU researchers have created an electromagnetic coil system that can control microrobots without requiring continuous visual ...

Saturn’s magnetic field isn’t the smooth, symmetrical shield scientists see around Earth. Instead, it’s noticeably skewed, ...

Saturn’s magnetic shield is unexpectedly lopsided, with its entry point for solar particles pushed off-center. Scientists believe its fast spin and material from its moon Enceladus are warping the ...

[Michael Pick] calls himself the casual engineer, though we don’t know whether he is referring to his work clothes or his laid back attitude. However, he does like to show quick and easy projects. His ...

An IMU is a compact, high-precision device that captures how an object moves and orients itself in space. Whether steering ...

Knobs are ubiquitous in technology user interfaces, but touchscreens are increasingly replacing them for interface controls. The latest project from [upir] combines a rotating knob with a touchscreen ...

Abstract: Describes a new contactless sensor, which measures the position of a magnet along two axes. The sensor is inherently non-sensitive to the magnet movement along the third axis, temperature ...

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, ...
