The rarer titania - based variant does not generate its own voltage, but
changes electrical resistance based on the oxygen concentration detected.
This novel kind of non-volatile memory saves information by
changing the electrical resistance of a metal - insulator - metal structure.
A new study from the Cava lab has revealed a unifying connection between seemingly unrelated materials that exhibit extreme magnetoresistance, the ability of some materials to drastically
change their electrical resistance in response to a magnetic field, a property that could be useful in magnetic memory applications.

changes in the magnetic orientation of those bits alter the
electrical resistance of electrons flowing through the sensor, translating the magnetic data into a stream of
electrical pulses.
Conventionally such chemical sensors use only the
change in the
electrical current through the device or a

The
change in
electrical resistance through a magnetic field is called magnetoresistance and is very important in technology.
Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory compared similar materials and returned to a long - established rule of electron movement in their quest to explain the phenomenon of extremely large magnetoresistance (XMR), in which the application of a magnetic field to a material results in a remarkably large
change in
electrical resistance.

electrical resistance changes dramatically when exposed to a magnetic field, which makes them ideal for high - capacity data storage.
The
change of
resistance of a PT100 is tiny, about 0.00385 Ohm per degree Celsius, so you need an
electrical amplifier to multiply the small corresponding
change in voltage to a value acceptable by the datalogger (Thermistors have a much much greater
resistance change per degree Celsius, but are more non-linear and more imprecise).
To improve the reliability of reported sea water temperature observations, a
change to an
electrical resistance or thermistor thermometer, specially designed and installed to measure the sea water temperature and having a remote indicator on the ship's bridge, is recommended.
