We present a system for simultaneous recording of the electrocardiogram and the magnetocardiogram. The measurement system contained of printed carbon electrodes and SERF magnetometer. The use of this system confirms that the position of the end of the magnetic T wave extends further than the electric T wave, which is an important indicator for the diagnosis of cardiological patients and for drug arrhythmogenicity.

Interleaved Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) detection was conducted on ammonium nitrate and potassium chlorate using two Rb magnetometers, where potassium chlorate is measured during the T limited recovery time of ammonium nitrate. The multi-pass magnetometers are rapidly matched to the NQR frequencies, 531 kHz and 423 kHz, with the use of a single tuning field. For ease of implementation, a double resonant tank circuit was used for excitation, but could be replaced by a broad-band transmitter.

Article Synopsis
  • - Ultralight bosons like axion-like particles are considered strong contenders for dark matter and can create stable structures called topological defects that cluster dark matter in small areas throughout the galaxy.
  • - The study utilized a global network of optical magnetometers to search for transient signals from domain walls created by these axion-like particles.
  • - After analyzing a month of data, the researchers found no significant signals, which helps to limit the theoretical possibilities of dark matter involving these particles.

This paper presents results from the integration of a compact quantum magnetometer system and an agile underwater glider for magnetic survey. A highly maneuverable underwater glider, ROUGHIE, was customized to carry an increased payload and reduce the vehicle's magnetic signature. A sensor suite composed of a vector and scalar magnetometer was mounted in an external boom at the rear of the vehicle.
