Quantum magnetometers based on spin defects in solids enable sensitive imaging of various magnetic phenomena, such as ferro- and antiferromagnetism, superconductivity, and current-induced fields. Existing protocols primarily focus on static fields or narrow-band dynamical signals, and are optimized for high sensitivity rather than fast time resolution. Here, we report detection of fast signal transients, providing a perspective for investigating the rich dynamics of magnetic systems.

An important parameter is the height of each landscape element, as this determines the length of wind protection behind it. Further determining parameters are the wind speeds above a threshold value for initiating wind erosion and the corresponding wind directions.

100 years ago Dr. Eli Moschcowitz described the first case of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. For many decades there were no recognized treatment options, and the mortality rate was extremely high.

Beyond the histological pattern from renal biopsy, more precise phenotyping of the diseases and the use of modern nephrogenetics helps to improve treatment decisions and sometimes also avoid unnecessary exposure to potentially toxic immunosuppression. New biomarkers have led to easier and more accurate diagnoses and more targeted therapeutic decisions.
