NMR on a Chip

Posted February 21, 2008 8:48 AM

From Medgadget:

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is reporting that its scientists, together with a group at Berkeley, developed a microchip device that incorporates a miniature atomic magnetometer with a fluid channel for studies of tiny samples. How sensitive is the magnetometer in such a device? Reportedly it can detect magnetic field variations as small as 70 femtoteslas.

It's only a matter of time, before the sensors are so small we shall not be able to see them.

It then won't be a case of scrabbling round the floor, looking for the contact lens, but trying to locate the sensors which fell off the bench.

Kind Regards....
