The first printable magnetic sensor relying on the giant magnetoresistance effect (GMR) is demonstrated. It prepared in form of magneto-sensitive inks adherent to any kind arbitrarily shaped surface. fabricated exhibits a room-temperature GMR up 8% showing great potential for contactless switching hybrid electronic circuits (discrete semiconductor and elements) applied surface by regular painting.
