➀ Texas Instruments (TI) introduced the TMAG5134A1CDBVR Hall-effect switch with a record 1mT sensitivity, targeting door/window sensors and consumer electronics;

➀ The TMAG5134 family offers seven variants with thresholds from ±1mT to ±2mT, sample rates up to 20Hz, and ultra-low power consumption (as low as 500nA);

➂ Key features include in-plane sensing flexibility, CMOS output, support for specialized configurations, and tools like the Magnetic Sense Simulator for development.

➀ Researchers at the Cavendish Laboratory and other institutions have discovered macroscopic magnetic behavior in phosphorene nanoribbons at room temperature;

➁ The nanoribbons, made of black phosphorus, have unique magnetic and semiconducting properties;

➂ The discovery could lead to the development of spintronic devices and advancements in computing technologies.
