A laser beam tracks the motions of the tiny magnet suspended in a vacuum chamber as it wobbles in response to magnetic fields.Credit: Wei Ji, Peking UniversityScientists have turned a levitating magnet into a device for measuring magnetic fields, known as a magnetometer — one that is sensitive enough to detect the faint signals of the brain’s electrical activity. The technique, which is simpler than existing approaches, is reported today in Science1.Some of the most sensitive magnetometers use looped superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs), which only work at temperatures close to absolute zero and therefore require complex cryogenics. Another state-of-the-art…
