The detection of magnetic fields is carried out with the help of a so called nitrogen vacancy center (NV), located approximately 10 nanometers below the surface of the diamond tip.

Diamonds designed with nitrogen - vacancy (NV) centers that can detect changes in
magnetic fields are a powerful tool for biosensing technologies and used in the medical
detection and diagnosis
of disease.
Phosphorus doping pushed over 90 percent
of NV centers to the negative charge state, enabling
magnetic field detection.
As a step toward that goal, the NIST researchers demonstrated
detection of digitally modulated
magnetic signals, that is, messages consisting
of digital bits 0 and 1, by a
magnetic -
field sensor that relies on the quantum properties
of rubidium atoms.
New
detections of radio waves from a repeating fast radio burst have revealed an astonishingly potent
magnetic field in the source's environment, indicating that it is situated near a massive black hole or within a nebula
of unprecedented power.
Similarly, changes in the ambient
magnetic field are created by submarines passing below the surface
of the ocean, and the U.S. Navy is very interested in SQUIDs for submarine
detection.
In a study published in Physics Review Letters, and highlighted by APS Physics, ICFO researchers demonstrate a new technique for the coherent the
detection of radio frequency
magnetic fields using an atomic magnetometer.
The systematic lack
of magnetic field detection reported in recent spectro - polarimetric surveys
of Be stars is consistent with the absence
of strong
magnetic wind braking in these fast spinning stars but put strong constraints on the possible origin
of the
magnetic field.
