Highly sensitive quantum magnetometers on their way to industry

Quantum magnetometers for industrial use in nanoelectronics, chemical analysis and materials testing

13-Apr-2022 - Fraunhofer IAF develops quantum magnetometers based on diamond. They are able to detect magnetic fields with a spatial resolution of a few nanometers down to single electron and nuclear spins. Due to the physical material properties, diamond quantum magnetometers operate at room temperature, ...

Deeper insight thanks to neutrons from a laser source

The desire to make the hidden visible has always been a driving force of research

28-Mar-2022 - A team led by the Technical University of Darmstadt has for the first time made laser-generated neutrons usable for an industrial application. The researchers showed that neutrons generated compactly with lasers can be used in non-destructive material testing. As electrically neutral particles, ...

Terahertz radiation source: Compact and simple

A novel, simple and extremely compact radiation source for terahertz waves: The possible applications are manifold.

13-Jan-2022 - Terahertz radiation has a wavelength of typically a little less than one millimetre - a technically difficult range.
