It seems improbable that a satellite designed to monitor polar ice sheets and floating sea ice could accurately measure a disturbance in Earth's magnetic field. But that is just what ESA's CryoSat ...

The European Space Agency’s CryoSat-2, a satellite built to measure polar ice thickness, recorded detailed magnetic field distortions during a severe geomagnetic storm, producing data that ESA says ...

This image shows the solar wind interacting with Earth’s magnetic field, causing the magnetic field lines to reconnect and resulting in atmospheric loss within the aurora at the polar cusps. Credit: ...

Meanwhile, an ice-monitoring satellite had just received a software update to its navigation system, allowing it to observe the impact of the solar storm while also keeping a steady watch on the ice ...

Quantum magnetometers are able to detect and visualize the tiniest damage in ferromagnetic materials. In aerospace technology or the automotive industry, they can help to significantly increase the ...

The tree diagram shows three perspectives for evaluating the sensitivity limits (green leaves). These perspectives are interconnected (red dashed lines) and are constrained by fundamental principles ...

New research led by physicists at the University of Warwick has used tools designed to study social networks to gain significant new insights into the Northern Lights, and space weather particularly ...

Have you ever wondered how a magnetometer works? We sure have, which was why we were happy to stumble upon this article on simple homebrew fluxgate magnetometers. As [Maurycy] explains, clues to how a ...

The highly integrated vector magnetometer is based on nitrogen vacancies (NV) in diamond and provides access to the smallest magnetic fields with a previously unattainable degree of flexibility and ...

Skyfront, the world’s leader in high endurance hybrid drones, today announced that Skyfront MagniPhy, its next-generation drone magnetometer solution, is available to the market. The Skyfront MagniPhy ...

For just over two years, a scalar magnetometer developed by Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) and the Space Research Institute (IWF) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences has been on its way to ...

ARK Electronics has launched the ARK DAN GPS, a U.S.-built dual-band L1/L5 GNSS and industrial magnetometer unit. The ARK DAN is designed for dependable navigation and orientation in professional ...
