Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have demonstrated a surprising new version of the Hall effect, showing that magnetic fields can generate electrical signals within the same plane of a material—without the perpendicular magnetic field traditionally considered necessary. Using an ultrathin tantalum-iridium-tellurium structure, the discovery could enable smaller, more efficient multidimensional magnetic sensors for electronics, medical imaging, and navigation This episode includes AI-generated content.
