A new milestone for flexible magnetic sensors

Caption

A group of researchers from Bar-Ilan University and Ben-Gurion University has reported a giant leap of more than an order of magnitude improvement in the sensitivity of flexible magneto-resistive sensors, heralding new opportunities for flexible sensors in medical devices, soft robotics and more. Image: A flexible magnetic sensor grown on a polyamide tape and graphs showing the EMN (effectively, the detectable magnetic field) in pT as a function of frequency when the sensor is flat, bent and flat after being bent. The graphs demonstrate capability to detect magnetic fields smaller than 200 pT.
