Carnegie Mellon scientists overturn century-old assumption about the Hall effect

Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have discovered an unexpected form of the Hall effect, disproving the long-held assumption that this electrical response only occurs when a magnetic field is perpendicular to a material. The finding overturns a cornerstone of physics dating back more than a century. It could eventually lead to simpler magnetic sensors for use in electronics, transportation and medical technologies.
