Levitated sensor for magnetometry in ambient environment

Scientists have developed a new type of sensor for measuring magnetic fields based on the principle of levitation. This sensor is capable of operating in ambient environments without requiring special conditions. The publication was released in the journal Science in August 2026 in Volume 393, Issue 6811 on pages 607-610. The levitated sensor represents an innovative approach to magnetometry. The technology enables measurement of magnetic fields with high precision. This development has potential applications across various fields of science and technology.
