An innovative magnetometer that can replace conventional technology in applications such as neuroimaging, mineral exploration and molecular diagnostics has been developed by scientists. Its ...

The European Space Agency’s CryoSat-2, a satellite built to measure polar ice thickness, recorded detailed magnetic field distortions during a severe geomagnetic storm, producing data that ESA says ...

The Goddard Magnetometer (GMAG) instrument, launched onboard NOAA's GOES-19 satellite on June 25, 2024, is now transmitting magnetic field measurements down to Earth. GOES-19, like its sister ...

SBQuantum is a Canadian company that spun-out of Quebec’s University of Sherbrooke in 2017. It has developed a magnetometer that uses a superposition of quantum states to enhance its sensitivity to ...

Use of magnetic sensors is rapidly expanding, driven by user demands in automotive, industrial, military/aerospace and consumer applications. Initially, magnetic sensors were developed and used almost ...

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 surveys, ...

With the rise of affordable 3D printers, we just don’t see the projects in Tic Tac boxes that we used to. That’s kind of a shame. Not only are you upcycling existing plastic when you use one, they’re ...
