Measuring faint magnetic fields is useful in a number of areas, including mapping brain activity, monitoring hearts and ...
A quantum state that exists only because a magnetic field keeps flipping on schedule may turn out to be one of the hardest things in nature to disrupt. That is the central finding from a team at ...
A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation of magnetic fields using what may be the tiniest compasses around—atoms.
