Hall Effect Just Got a Major Upgrade | Science News

Scientists at Carnegie Mellon just shattered a 100-year-old physics rule: the Hall effect doesn’t need a magnetic field pointing straight up to work. They proved it responds to sideways fields too — using ultra-thin, atomically precise materials that trick non-magnetic layers into acting magnetic. This breakthrough could revolutionize sensors, letting one tiny device detect magnetic fields in any direction — simplifying everything from smartphones to medical imaging. Now, researchers are racing to replicate this with real-world materials that work at room temperature. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
