Sentences with phrase «squid magnetometer»

The discovery was also enabled by the arrival last summer an instrument called a SQUID magnetometer (Superconducting QUantum Interference Device) that can measure magnetism with great accuracy down to below 2 degrees above absolute zero.

Researchers estimate that a SQUID magnetometer of this type could detect a sub from 6 kilometres away, and Caplin says that with better noise suppression the range could be much greater.

Tarduno and his team used a unique superconducting quantum interference device, or SQUID magnetometer, at the University of Rochester that provides a sensitivity ten times greater than comparable instruments.

Not exact matches

You could widen their range if you had a magnetometer based on a superconducting quantum interference device, or SQUID.

The new magnetometer, built by Xiaoming Xie and colleagues at the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, uses not one SQUID but an array of them.

SQUIDs are also of considerable use in the research laboratory in specially designed voltmeters, in magnetometers and susceptometers and in scanning SQUID microscopes.
