Siemens Healthineers Receives FDA Clearance for Magnetom Flow.Ace, Company’s First Helium-Free 1.5 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Scanner

Siemens Healthineers has received Food and Drug Administration clearance for the Magnetom Flow.Ace, its first 1.5 tesla (T) platform for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with a closed helium circuit and no quench pipe, significantly reducing reliance on helium. The system, which has a 60 cm bore, is also the first Siemens Healthineers MR scanner to be marketed to the veterinary radiology community as well as for general radiology. […]

Sound of Earth’s Magnetic Flip 41,000 Years Ago

Approximately 41,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field briefly reversed during what is known as the Laschamp event. During this time, Earth’s magnetic field weakened significantly—dropping to a minimum of 5% of its current strength—which allowed more cosmic rays to reach Earth’s atmosphere. […]

Building Better Magnets for Biomedical Breakthroughs

The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory is developing new magnet technology aimed at enabling the next generation of groundbreaking biomedical research. With a new $2.4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, the lab’s Applied Superconductivity Center will demonstrate that a cutting-edge high-temperature superconducting material can be used to build a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) magnet.

Swarm Detects Tidal Magnetic Signatures

A study using data from ESA’s Swarm mission suggests that faint magnetic signatures created by Earth’s tides can help us determine magma distribution under the seabed and could even give us insights into long-term trends in global ocean temperatures and salinity. […]

Quantum Scale Sensors used to Measure Planetary Scale Magnetic Fields

Magnetic fields are everywhere in our solar system. They originate from the Sun, planets, and moons, and are carried throughout interplanetary space by solar wind. This is precisely why magnetometers—devices used to measure magnetic fields—are flown on almost all missions in space to benefit the Earth, Planetary, and Heliophysics science communities, and ultimately enrich knowledge for all humankind.
