From ancient compasses to modern smartphones, magnetometers have quietly shaped how we sense and navigate the world. Let us explore the fundamentals behind these field-detecting devices. Magnetic ...

An international team of researchers led by Lancaster University has discovered a highly efficient mechanism for shaking magnets using very short light pulses, shorter than a trillionth of a second.

High-precision magnetometers are used to measure the strength and direction of magnetic fields for various applications. However, many of today's magnetometers must operate at extremely low ...

The researchers fabricated chip-based interferometers (pictured) to measure how light propagating through a magneto-optic material changed in response to a magnetic field. WASHINGTON — Researchers ...

Quantum devices that measure Earth's magnetic fields could help replace GPS—if researchers can figure out how to tell when such devices are working well, or even at all. A Pentagon contract suggests ...

SBQuantum's measures local magnetic field vectors by applying laser and microwaves to a synthetic diamond in its compact magnetometer. Credit: SBQuantum SAN FRANCISCO – Canada’s SBQuantum has won an ...

A groundbreaking fiber-coupled diamond magnetometer has been possible by Element Six’s high purity CVD diamond and is set to advance structural material aging and medical diagnostics. A group of ...

Quantum sensing is primed for a breakout that will radically change both conventional and nuclear warfare, requiring essential reforms for the Department of Defense (recently renamed to the Department ...

In the 100th-anniversary year of quantum mechanics, which describes the universe at its smallest, most fundamental scales, the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has gone to three pioneers in bringing its ...

On stage, Bosch Quantum Sensing will also contribute to the conference program. CEO Dr. Katrin Kobe will speak on quantum sensing for healthcare on Wednesday, October 8, at 10:25 a.m. For more than a ...

I have always been intrigued by the many ways scientists and engineers have devised to sense basic physical parameters such as temperature, pressure, voltage, current, and electric fields, to cite ...
