Biobased #spintronics: Sustainable magnetic field sensors – printed   Magnetic field #sensors are found in automobiles, smartphones and security systems. But many of these components are made of materials that are neither health- nor environment-friendly and are complex to produce. In Nature Communications (DOI: 10.1038/s41467-026-71077-9), an international team led by researchers from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has now presented a sustainable alternative: printed sensors composed of iron, iron oxide and #bio-based materials like cellulose and starch. They measure magnetic fields reliably, are resource-saving to produce and can purportedly be disposed of safely or recycled after use.   Technische Universität Dresden, Else Kröner Fresenius Center for Digital Health, TU Darmstadt - Institut für Materialwissenschaft, Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo   Read more: https://lnkd.in/dvEHVDJG   Image: Lin Guo
