To detect the magneotropic coefficient, we use the Akiyama Probe (A-Probe)—a self-oscillating and self-sensing cantilever designed for scanning probe microscopy 30. The A-probe is made of two separate ...

Microwave field sensors are important in practice for a variety of applications across astronomy and communication engineering. The nitrogen vacancy center in diamond allows magnetometric sensitivity, ...

Quantum sensors have attracted broad interest in the quest towards sub-micronscale NMR spectroscopy. Such sensors predominantly operate at low magnetic fields. Instead, however, for high resolution ...

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 ...

Physicists have unveiled a breakthrough in quantum sensing by demonstrating a 2D material as a versatile platform for next-generation nanoscale vectorial magnetometry. A team of physicists at the ...

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 ...
