On 21 June, the Chinese Academy of Sciences hailed a breakthrough – a major upgrade to a kind of quantum device that measures magnetic fields. Magnetometers have been used to detect submarines since ...

A WWII submarine-hunting device helped prove the theory of plate tectonics With a boost from World War II, the fluxgate magnetometer became a portable and invaluable tool ...

A magnetometer is an electronic device capable of measuring magnetic fields or magnetic dipole moment. Magnetometers are widely used for measuring the Earth’s magnetic field, in geophysical ...

At the heart of the magnetometer are rubidium atoms and their reaction to a magnetic field. If rubidium atoms are stimulated by a laser light, the frequency of the laser light changes.

Skyfront, the world’s leader in high endurance hybrid drones, today announced that Skyfront MagniPhy, its next-generation drone magnetometer solution, is available to the market. The Skyfront MagniPhy ...

This report shows the results of a test survey aimed at comparing four different UAV-based (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) magnetometers and their capabilities to detect various infrastructure utilities.… ...

Iron containing short nerve branches in the upper beak of birds may serve as a magnetometer to measure the vector of the Earth magnetic field (intensity and inclination) and not only as a magnetic ...

A portable magnetometer being developed at the University of Leeds could dramatically simplify and improve the process of diagnosing heart conditions.

A highly sensitive diamond quantum magnetometer utilizing nitrogen-vacancy centers can achieve millimeter-scale resolution magnetoencephalography (MEG). The novel magnetometer, based on continuous ...
