Adafruit have announced the availability of its new Triple-axis Magnetometer offering a sensor capable of sensing ranges from +-50 gauss (+- 5000 uTesla!) with no range-setting required. For high ...

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 ...

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

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.
