Successful test at PTB of optical magnetometer with potential applications in brain imaging for neurological diagnostics and in basic research. In future a new magnetic sensor the size of a sugar cube might simplify the measurement of brain activity. In the magnetically shielded room of Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) the sensor has passed an important technical test: Spontaneous as well as stimulated magnetic fields of the brain were detected. This demonstrates the potential...

There may be a new wave of computer technology on the way thanks to scientists at the University of Leeds and Japan’s University of Agriculture and Technology: Growing your own computer. Magnet-making bacteria may be used to create the next generation of hard drives, making them much smaller and much faster than current models, and cells may be used to create tiny electrical bio-wires. As the bacteria take in and digest iron, they end up creating tiny magnets inside themselves,...

Magquip South Africa's only manufacturer of self air cooled belt magnets with disc wound aluminium strip coils recently demonstrated the effectiveness of its large energy efficient and environmentally friendly ANS 230 SCC belt electromagnet for removal of tramp iron (PRWEB) May 06, 2012 Magquip South Africa's only manufacturer of self air cooled belt magnets with disc wound aluminium strip coils recently demonstrated the effectiveness of its large "energy efficient" ANS 230 SCC belt...

Minute-scale interactions govern electronic behavior of superconductors with potential applications for voltage measurement techniques Researchers studying a superconducting strip observed an intermittent motion of magnetic flux which carries vortices inside the regularly spaced weak conducting regions carved into the superconducting material. These vortices resulted in alternating static phases with zero voltage and dynamic phases, which are characterized by non-zero voltage peaks in the...

Doreen Carrie has been on a “magnetized mission” all of her life and even as a child she had the uncanny ability to see a person beyond their blocks. New York, New York (PRWEB) April 27, 2012 Doreen Carrie has been on a “magnetized mission” all of her life and even as a child she had the uncanny ability to see a person beyond their blocks. The culmination of her "magnetized mission" is the launch of the first Social Magnetizing Site®, http://www.ChicksWithMagnetude.com, a...

Microscopic particles are being coaxed by Duke University engineers to assemble themselves into larger crystalline structures by the use of varying concentrations of microscopic particles and magnetic fields. These nano-scale crystal structures, which until now have been difficult and time-consuming to produce using current technologies, could be used as basic components for advanced optics, data storage and bioengineering, said the research team. "Not only did we develop the...

Scientist works to understand how fluctuations change biochemical reactions inside us We are surrounded by a constantly changing magnetic field, be it the Earth's or those emanating from devices, such as cell phones. Carlos Martino, an assistant professor at the University of Nevada, Reno, is interested in understanding how these magnetic-field fluctuations change biochemical reactions inside us. Martino explains that the subject is controversial. "Our research shows that exposure to...

LOS ANGELES, April 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- There's good news for the nation's 30.8 million single adults between the ages of 40 and 64. The author of a new book says technology and changing social behaviors have combined to make it easier for single adults over the age of 40 to find love, romance and marriage. "Finding love in mid-life has never been easier or more common," said Chad Stone, author of Confessions of a Middle-Aged Babe Magnet. "Because of online technology and a less...
