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 ...

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.

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.… ...

This report shows the results of a test survey aimed at collecting reference data using four different UAV-based (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) magnetometers against UXO (Unexploded Ordnance) surrogate ...

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

The first ever quantum magnetometer capable of providing vector measurements of both the amplitude and the orientation of Earth's magnetic field will be tested in outer space before it's available ...

The study investigates the limits of quantum magnetometers and explores criteria for determining whether a magnetometer is essentially quantum.

"Nevertheless, our development shows that this magnetometer is also promising for planetary probes with two laser beams—provided the magnetic field is not too weak.
