Why Industrial Cybersecurity Matters in the Age of NIS2

Learn why industrial cybersecurity and NIS2 compliance are critical for protecting connected OT systems, infrastructure, and public safety.

Industrial Object Detection with Long-Range, Wide-Angle Time-of-Flight Sensing: OMRON E3AS-HF

Conventional photoelectric sensors used for object detection and distance measurement can struggle with dark, glossy, or irregular targets because they rely on light intensity. Time-of-flight laser sensors overcome these challenges by using distance-based sensing instead.

The Seebeck Effect: Principles, Materials and Applications

The Seebeck effect converts a temperature difference across a conductor or junction of two materials into a voltage. This article reviews the physics, Seebeck coefficients, thermoelectric materials, figure of merit, thermocouples, and generator design.

A 3D scanner for electromagnetic fields

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a method that uses a single ion to detect electromagnetic fields above a surface and to create a three-dimensional map of them. In the future, this approach can be used to improve chips for quantum computers and quantum sensors.

Hall Effect Current Sensor: Principles, Topologies and Engineering Applications

Learn how a Hall Effect Current Sensor works, including principles, topologies, specifications, comparisons and engineering applications.

One board, two brains? Three ways a dual architecture board makes building simpler

From simple sensor control to connected, intelligent devices, embedded systems often outgrow a single MCU. Pairing an MCU with Linux adds power and flexibility, but also introduces communication challenges, dual development workflows, and increasing software complexity.
