E2WATT technology reaches up eight times … Read More → "Eggtronic E2WATTⓇ Wireless Power Supply Technology Offers a Route to Wireless Charging in Higher Power Applications Including Home Appliances and Electric Vehicles"

Paragraf Introduces a Graphene Hall Sensor Optimised for Cryogenic Applications including Quantum Computing

Graphene Hall sensor enables commercial organisations to accurately measure high magnetic field strengths at cryogenic temperatures, increasing manufacturing throughput by quicker magnet mapping, replacing existing NMR probe mapping stages.
June 1, 2021

1 June 2021, Cambridge, UK: Paragraf introduces the GHS-C Graphene Hall Sensor (GHS), providing the industry’s only viable approach to measuring magnetic field strengths of 7 Tesla (T) and above, at temperature extremes below 3 Kelvin (K).

Paragraf has entered volume production of the GHS-C, a Graphene based Hall sensor optimised to provide high field measurements while operating at cryogenic temperatures. It achieves this while dissipating virtually no heat. The cryogenic sensor also allows measurements directly in cold bore, removing the need for room temperature inserts, giving quality data and time savings.

The GHS-C is the only Hall … Read More → "Paragraf Introduces a Graphene Hall Sensor Optimised for Cryogenic Applications including Quantum Computing"
