Cover Story: The planar Hall resistance (PHR) magnetic biosensor detects the magnetically labeled biomolecules or cells, immobilized on the sensor’s surface. Magnetic nanoparticles are used as a molecular tag, converting the biomolecular concentrations into the magnetic stray field, which can be detected by PHR magnetoresistive element as a change of its output voltage signal. In this work, the concentration of magnetic nanoparticles, immobilized on the surface of the sensor, has been successfully detected by the self-field technique, excluding the external magnetic field. In addition, the antibody–antigen sandwich model structure was used to detect β-amyloid, which is a well-known biomarker of Alzheimer’s disease. The developed biosensor, based on PHR magnetoresistive element working in 2f harmonics mode, can be considered a portable and lower-cost alternative to the existing biosensors for point-of-care diagnostics devices.

Negative emotion is one reason why stress causes negative feedback. Therefore, many studies are being done to recognize negative emotions. However, emotion is difficult to classify because it is subjective and difficult to quantify. Moreover, emotion...
