Some bacterial species possess an astonishing ability: They use Earth's magnetic field to orient themselves. To better understand this mechanism, the team led by Argovia-Professor Martino Poggio from ...

A research team from the High Magnetic Field Laboratory, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a compact dynamic cantilever magnetometer with a ...

Although measuring a hysteresis loop can be helpful in the magnetic characterization of materials, this approach does not provide information of interactions or coercivity distributions. First-order ...

Nanodiamond quantum sensors mounted on magnetic microbots achieve coherent spin control while moving freely through fluid, a first for untethered quantum sensing.

Fraunhofer IAF has achieved a milestone in its development of laser threshold magnetometry (LTM), with the first measurement of magnetic-field-dependent stimulated emission. The findings, published in ...

Researchers routinely measure magnetic fields to better understand a vast array of natural phenomena. Many of these measurements are performed in shielded environments, but the research community has ...

A Raman Research Institute (RRI) team working with cold Rydberg atoms have used quantum magnetometry to help atomic clocks and magnetometers used for precise timekeeping in navigation, ...

It seems improbable that a satellite designed to monitor polar ice sheets and floating sea ice could accurately measure a disturbance in Earth's magnetic field. But that is just what ESA's CryoSat ...
