Carnegie Mellon Study Challenges Long-Held Hall Effect Assumption
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have observed a novel manifestation of the Hall effect that contradicts the established belief that this electrical phenomenon requires a perpendicular magnetic field. The discovery suggests that the effect can arise under different magnetic orientations, potentially opening new avenues for electronic device design.

EXPANDED:
The Hall effect is a foundational principle in physics, describing how an electric current interacts with a magnetic field to generate a transverse voltage. For decades, the established understanding has been that this interaction strictly requires the magnetic field to be oriented perpendicular to
