IEEE SENSORS 2025: Showcasing pioneering advances in TMR magnetic sensing in Vancouver

Neuranics attended and exhibited at IEEE SENSORS 2025 conference held from 10 to 22 October in Vancouver, Canada. The event brought together researchers, engineers and product teams who were exploring the latest developments in sensing technology. Across the conference, many attendees were looking for sensing approaches that provided higher precision, lower power consumption and more intuitive ways for people to interact with devices.

Hadi Heidari, Siming Zuo, Huxi Wang and Peter O’Hanlon presented Neuranics latest advances in TMR magnetic sensing. The discussions and papers highlighted progress in magnetic flux concentrator design, device level optimisation and integrated wearable applications. These contributions reflected the full stack approach Neuranics utilises that brings together sensors, custom ASIC design and AI enabled hardware and software.

The team presented three peer reviewed papers:
• The Effects of MFC Material and Geometry on TMR Sensing Properties
• Maximizing TMR Sensor Resolution Via Optimised Magnetic Flux Concentrators
• A TMR Enabled Wristband for Gesture Recognition

Each paper demonstrated how material choices, device architecture and flux concentrator geometry influence detectivity, stability and real world performance. From structures that improve sensitivity, to sensor configurations that remain accurate during movement, to wearable systems capable of recognising gestures from magnetic signals, the work showed the growing capability of Neuranics TMR sensing solutions.

A highlight of the conference for Neuranics was receiving the Best Demo Award for a live demonstration of TMR enabled gesture recognition. The demo showed how magnetic sensing can deliver precise, reliable and low power human-machine interaction in real time. The strong response from the IEEE SENSORS community reflected the growing interest in TMR sensing for wearables, digital health and XR.

Across the exhibition, the team met with attendees exploring how picoTesla sensitivity, magnetic vector information and compact ASIC supported architectures could enable new product functionality. Many of these discussions focused on the limitations of existing sensing approaches and how magnetic sensing can provide continuous and reliable alternatives.

It was a productive conference that highlighted the momentum behind magnetic sensing and the direction the field is moving toward. The conversations and feedback from the IEEE SENSORS community provided valuable insight for ongoing research and development.

The team is now building on this work as we continue advancing TMR based magnetic sensing solutions for next generation wearables and human-machine interfaces.
