Problems solved by technology

[0013] However, the problem with metal-insulator-based nanoparticle materials is that at low magnetic fields, the sensitivity to magnetic fields is very low
However, using both types of sensors is not preferred
This is because more than twice the installation space is required, which makes magnetic field measurement in minute areas difficult
