Hprobe, Now Part of Mycronic, Develops Powerful New Magnetic Instrument for Testing TMR Sensors 

Magnetic sensor ICs have become essential to modern electronics, enabling accurate detection of position, speed, current and orientation. Among them, tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) sensors stand out for their high sensitivity, low power consumption and seamless fabrication compatibility. Over the past decade, they have moved from research prototypes to large-scale adoption. Their growing complexity requires precise wafer-level control of 3D magnetic fields in terms of orientation, magnitude and uniformity, creating new technical and throughput challenges for sensor manufacturers and test equipment suppliers.

Big Magnets & Big Money Power High-Stakes Race to Commercialize Fusion Energy 

Big magnets and big money are at the core of a high stakes race to commercialize fusion energy, aiming ultimately to transform the world’s energy supply with the immense power of zero-carbon fusion. This article highlights the progress of two pioneering companies located only a two-hour drive apart — General Fusion in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada and Helion in Everett, Washington in the U.S. The technologies of both companies rely on powerful electromagnets, eschewing the use of more expensive and complex superconducting magnets typically used in tokamaks.
