Fraunhofer IAF presents compact integrated quantum sensor at World of Quantum 2025 The highly integrated vector magnetometer ...

Earth’s Magnetic Field Might Weirdly Be Controlling the Air We Breathe, Scientists Say Magnetism and oxygen may intrinsically influence each other, but experts aren’t sure why.

Earth’s oxygenated atmosphere and magnetic field make life possible, but scientists have discovered that there’s a hidden link between the two that’s stronger than we originally imagined.

Fraunhofer IAF is presenting the latest version of its compact integrated quantum magnetometer at World of Quantum in Munich, June 24–27. The diamond-based system is characterized by its robustness, ...

This protocol is used for magnetic field and other continuous variables’ quantum sensing, for biomedical applications, for foundational physics, for non-equilibrium quasiparticle density detection, ...

At its peak around 40,977 years ago, Earth’s protective magnetic bubble shrank dramatically – from its normal extent of 8-11 Earth radii (51,000-70,000 km) to just 2.43 Earth radii (15,498 km).

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes ...

A huge reservoir of dense rock called the African Large Low Shear Velocity Province, located about 2,900 kilometers (1,800 miles) below the African continent, is thought to disturb the field's ...

Today the magnetic field is more or less aligned with Earth’s rotational axis (each pole lies about 11 degrees off from the geographic poles). But it isn’t fixed in place — the complex motions of the ...

"The magnetic field is actually a superposition of fields from many current sources," geophysicist Terry Sabaka from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre in Greenbelt, Maryland explained in 2020. The ...
